The film “Salt Men" by the Malaga citizen Manuel Jiménez Núñez has been selected to portray the trends of Spanish culture on the next May 7 during the celebrations of the European Day in Porto.
The Representation of the European Commission in Portugal has decided, for the second consecutive year, to celebrate the European Day with an exhibition of twenty-seven documentaries, from each of the countries in the European Union in the sample Doc_Europa.
During three days, from May 7 to May 9, in Porto, a selection of the best European documentary will show themes and different points of view. According to the developers, it is intended not only to teach Europe, both in its diversity and similarities, but also show how short individual stories are sometimes universal.
The selection of this second edition of Doc_Europa has sought to overcome the conventions and clichés that we have when we look at the other European countries; selecting movies that use cinematic language in an innovative and contemporary way, appropriated to the human way of seeing the world.
The documentary selected to represent Spain this year was "Salt Men" from the director Manuel Jiménez Núñez from Malaga, which tells us in a unique way, the transformation of something as close as fishing in Malaga.
“Salt Men" has been previously recognized with the First Award of Jury at the International Festival of Almeria; the Second Award of Jury at the International Documentary Festival of Madrid; the RTVA Award for Best Documentary Film in Andalusia of Atlantic and the Official Opening Film in Bosnia Herzegovina.
Manuel Jiménez Núñez is currently the director of Novasoft Audiovisual Area, and he is shooting a documentary about the writer and poet Manuel Alcantara.
