It's interesting to note that this year, a certain idea has emerged in the production of new projects, moving from film to series and back again. It's a given that cinema is a reflection of reality, but what if we show this very reality of cinema wit...

The Offer

What's happening in domestic cinema? The same as everywhere else. What makes this project interesting? It lets you see how a film set works and how to manage the 'chaos' that can ensue. One of the series' main strengths is depicting the life of the entire film crew, from the prop assistant to the director.

We've already mentioned this project in our list of domestic series this year that you shouldn't miss. So if you missed it, now's the time to catch up.

The Offer

Many know the phrase: 'I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.' This is a famous quote from the film 'The Godfather' by Francis Ford Coppola. But how did this film come about? That's exactly what the 10-episode series 'The Offer' tells us. Hot Hollywood, Italian passions, and the intricacies of cinema — there's an abundance of all this goodness here.

Official Competition

How do actors prepare for their work? Where do they find inspiration? Journalists and ordinary people alike love to ask artists these questions. And the topic is indeed interesting. Often in interviews, actors talk about how they immerse themselves in a role or how long the process of coming out of character can be. You can enjoy all these inner torments, experiences, and peculiarities of immersion into the world of cinema with a light dose of mockery in the film 'Official Competition' starring the main stars of Spanish and Argentine cinema.

Irma Vep

If 'The Offer' shows how to create new cinema, the series 'Irma Vep' demonstrates the difficulties of reshooting successful films. What can be the outcome of a remake? A rethinking of old values or a reflection of new trends with a light charm of yesteryear? The heroine — an American woman who ends up in France (played by Alicia Vikander) — experiences all this. This project is not only interesting from the perspective of film production; it also equally combines light humor and absurdity. Even more interesting is the fact that the series itself is essentially an auto-remake by director Olivier Assayas.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

This summer's new release offers a chance to look at the world of cinema through the eyes of the most devoted fans. Thanks to Nicolas Cage's light self-irony about himself, the result is a nostalgic project about 90s action movies. You just want to grab a pen and write yourself a list of films to rewatch. Watching the character of Pedro Pascal, you understand how strong fan devotion can sometimes be and why we love cinema so much.
