Martín (Huelva’s Ibero-American Film Festival); Carlos Madrid and Rosa Roig (respectively Valencia’s International Festival and Mostra), Conxita Casanovas (Barcelona’s Sant Jordi International Film Festival), Alejandro Díaz Castaño (Gijón), Joan González (Docs Barcelona), Andrea Guzmán (Documenta Madrid), Ángel Sala (Sitges), and Emiliano Allende (Medina del Campo).
