Some awaited films in the pipeline from Catalonia:

The Rift

Director: Àlex Lora

(Inicia Films, Scope Features)

Lora’s follow-up to his 2024 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, “The Masterpiece,” tells the story of a young man with a Catalan mother and a Moroccan father who decides to confront his deepest fears and the prejudices of others by embracing his Muslim faith — all in the least suitable place and during the most tumultuous year in Catalonia’s recent history.
