Imanol Rayo’s “Dog Days,” a coming-of-age story set one sizzling summer in the Spanish countryside, won the top prize at the Thessaloniki Film Festival’s Crossroads Co-Production Forum, which wrapped with an award ceremony Wednesday night.
The Basque director’s fourth feature took home the Two Thirty-Five Co-Production Award, offering full post-production image and sound to a film that’s currently in development. Producer Iker Ganuza of Spanish production outfit Lamia was on hand to accept the prize from the jury, which praised the film as “a story about both emerging and buried passions, approached with a very personal touch of sensibility.”
Speaking to Variety ahead of the Thessaloniki industry event, Rayo described his “sensual summer story” as “a reflection on the way in which the intervention of the human being or ‘climate change’ modifies the landscapes, habits and lives of ordinary people.” The director’s debut feature, “Two Brothers,...

"They're more like mutant ravers." Capital Motion Picture Group has released a new official US trailer for Ravers, a horror comedy from the UK set at an illegal rave. This initially premiered a few years ago in 2018 at the FrightFest London Film Festival, and finally opens in US theaters this month. Murder on the dance floor in a witty, bloody horror about madness, mayhem and mutants... When a contaminated energy drink turns an illegal rave into a nightmare, a germaphobic journalist has to overcome her deepest fears to get her friends out alive. Starring Georgia Hirst as the journalist, Becky, joined by Natasha Henstridge, Eve Connolly, Dave Johns, and Orson Chaplin.

Here's the new official trailer (+ poster) for Bernhard Pucher's Ravers,...
