CIIF Market Highlights Socially Conscious Cinema with Mabel Lozano Screening
The 22nd Canary Islands International Film Market is hosting a special screening of Mabel Lozano’s documentary Abril, hoy no es invierno this Tuesday to highlight the region's growing audiovisual industry and the power of socially conscious cinema.
The 22nd Canary Islands International Film Market (CIIF Market) is highlighting the power of cinema as a tool for social change this week. As part of the program, a public screening of the documentary short Abril, hoy no es invierno will take place this Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. in Hall 2 of the Espacio Price in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The film’s writer and director, Mabel Lozano, will be in attendance for the event. This screening is particularly significant because the short film serves as the foundation for a feature-length project currently being filmed on the island. With a high-profile cast including Luis Tosar and Michelle Jenner, the production highlights the Canary Islands' growing ability to host major film projects and its strengthening technical and artistic infrastructure.
By featuring this work, the CIIF Market is furthering its strategy to boost the local audiovisual industry. The event aims to support local talent while positioning the archipelago as a key hub for film production. By choosing a documentary that sheds light on important social issues, the festival reinforces its commitment to combining economic growth with meaningful, thought-provoking cinema.
