Hermes Paralluelo: 'I'm very interested in portraying the feeling of when your energy is getting lower and you're thinking you're near to death' Hermes Paralluelo keeps his docufiction hybrid Not All Is Vigil (No Todo Es Vigilia) close to home, as he captures a fictionalised version of the lives of his grandparents Felisa and Antonio that explores the unseen bonds that form in a 60-year marriage and the trials and strengths that come with old age. The film, which screens out of competition at Karlovy Vary this week, had its world premiere at San Sebastian Film Festival last year, where I caught up with Paralluelo to talk about fact, fiction and the realities of growing old.

This year we celebrate the vitality of the region with a record 27 films. We are truly grateful to the vision and commitment of two of the leading cultural, social and educational organizations in Mexico and the United States -- the Guadalajara International Film Festival and the University of Guadalajara Foundation in USA -- for sponsoring this award and helping to strengthen the cultural and artistic bridges so fundamental to all of us,” said Hebe Tabachnik, Ibero-American Programmer for Psiff.

The selection of films making up the New Directors section has been presented. The Director of the San Sebastian Festival, José Luis Rebordinos, revealed the titles of the films to compete for the Kutxa New Directors Award, decided by a specific international jury. The Award comes with €50,000.
At the coming Festival, the New Directors section will propose thirteen first or second works by a new generation of filmmakers. With this selection and the Kutxa New Directors Award, the San Sebastian Festival maintains its firm commitment to the cinematic talents of the future.
"Chrieg" Simon Jaquemet (Switzerland) On a boot camp for kids in the Swiss Alps, four delinquent teenagers have taken over. They have a mission and rush down to the city. Feverish nights full of violence and destruction. Their war. Against grown-ups. Against everything. Against Love.
"In Her Place" Albert Shin (Canada - South Korea) A mother and her teenaged daughter living on a rural farm in South Korea take in a mysterious woman from Seoul with the hopes of helping each other repair their damaged lives.
"Cain's Children"
Marcell Gerő (Hungary - France) Three boys, they all committed murder. After discovering their haunting faces and disturbing stories in a banned prison documentary from 1984, the filmmaker goes out to find them and discovers untold secrets and a Hungary he has never known.
"Name Me" Nigina Sayfullaeva (Russia) Two 17-year-old Muscovite girls, Olya and Sasha, are going to Crimea to meet Olya’s father Sergey. At first girls have their fun. Little do they know that the innocent joke they invent will turn into great drama and change their lives forever.
"Limbo" Anna Sofie Hartmann (Germany) A small town in rural Denmark; teenager Sara and newly arrived teacher Karen grow a connection amidst projections, quiet expectations and daily life all around. Courage leads to disappointment and when an unexpected event occurs, Karen is left on her own.
"The Mother of the Lamb" Rosario Espinoza, Enrique Farias (Chile) Cristina, a 49 year old woman, has spent her entire life caring for her mother Carmen. She re-encounters Sandra, a liberal and open-minded ex-colleague who will show her friend other ways to live.
"Modris" Juris Kursietis (Latvia - Greece - Germany) Unable to deal with her teenage son, the boy's mother turns him in for a small crime. But a teenager's life cannot handle police probation. Based on true events.
"A Moonless Night" Germán Tejeira (Uruguay - Argentina) On New Year's night, three lonely night owls arrive in a small town way out in the Uruguayan countryside, where they will have the opportunity to change their destiny. A film about love, loneliness, opportunities and the passing of time.
"It´s Not Vigil" Hermes Paralluelo (Spain - Colombia) In his new film, Hermes Paralluelo tells a love story. A love story that begins when its lead characters, Antonio and Felisa, have been together for over 60 years and their delicate health means they can no longer care for one another. The prospect of having to move into a home for the elderly looms menacingly on the horizon. The film portrays love in old age, nights of fitful sleep over the worry of loneliness, death and separation from a loved-one. Fear of leaving life in the hands of others and of losing independence.
"Toto and His Sisters" Alexander Nanau (Romania) From Emmy-Award winning German-Romanian director Alexander Nanau comes an amazing family love story. Totonel (10) and his sisters are growing up in a poor city suburb, waiting for their mother to come home from prison.
"The Silly Ones and the Stupid Ones" Roberto Castón (Spain) Second feature by Roberto Castón, whose movie Ander competed in the Panorama Section at Berlin in 2009. Mario, Paula, Miguel and Lourdes run into one another while looking (some more than others) for a way out of a life they don't like. The situation forces them to make decisions, listening either to their hearts or to the fear of change. They are accompanied in the process by the film's director, played by Roberto Álamo.
"The Lesson" Kristina Grozeva, Petar Valchanov (Bulgaria - Greece) In a small Bulgarian town, Nadezhda, a young teacher, tries to find out which of her students is stealing in class, so that she can teach them the difference between right and wrong. But when she finds herself in debt to moneylenders, will she know the right road to take? What happens when an honest person turns into a criminal?
"Vincent" Thomas Salvador (France) Vincent is not just a young man among others. His strength, reflexes and agility increase when in contact with water. There he meets Lucie, falls in love, and shares his secret with someone for the first time...
