This month, I had the pleasure to cover the Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival
@evolutionmallorcafilmfestival , that in its 14th edition, once again brought a wave of creativity to the golden Balearic autumn.
Amongst all the amazing creative artists present, my highlights were:
Steve Buscemi
@_stevebuscemi_ , whose quiet, sharp humour continues to bridge independent film and mainstream storytelling (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, Boardwalk Empire)
Twiggy
@twiggylawson , iconic model that shaped the 60s;
and Phedon Papamichael
@papa2 , the acclaimed cinematographer whose work embodies the visual poetry of the medium.(Nebraska, Bob Dylan: A Complete Unknown)
Among the cobbled streets of Palma, at venues ranging from the historic Rivoli Cinema to the repurposed CineCiutat complex (once an old butchery) and the nostalgic drive-in at Port Adriano, audiences gathered to celebrate stories of authenticity and reinvention from all over the world.
The programme combined screenings with live talks and hands-on cinematography masterclasses, attracting filmmakers eager to refine their craft behind the camera.
And at the heart of the festival’s vision is founder Sandra Lipksi,
@sandraseelinglipski who studied acting and producing in Los Angeles but has deep roots in Mallorca, where she lived for several years.
