at the Shanghai International Film Festival its jury Grand Prix and best cinematography plaudit for Toni Vidal. “Muyeres” is a hybrid documentary telling a story of Carmina and Irene, the last guardians of an oral folk tradition on the brink of extinction, set in the northern Spanish region of Asturias.

It adds to MoreThan Film’s roster of full length features having started out with shorts, a strategy born out from their wish to “work with directors who are also starting out so we can help them really broaden the reach of short films,” Damatto told This approach of getting attached to talented early career filmmakers early should bode well.
