For those of you that don't know about this great festival, Punto de Vista is possibly the best film festival in Spain, dedicated to 'documentary films', it seeks to reward risk-taking and non-narrative approaches and has a strong accent on experimental films. Last week, Josetxo Cerdán, its artistic director, was told that due to severe budget cuts (despite the governing political party's supposed 'commitment to culture'), the festival would be no more...
The Punto de Vista Festival has shown works by Raymond Depardon, Jean Vigo, David Perlov, Jay Rosenblatt, Alan Berliner, J. P. Sniadecki, James Benning, Naomi Uman, Lynne Sachs, Ben Rivers, Ross McElwee, Satô Makoto, Jem Cohen, Barbara Hammer, Ben Russell, among many others...
