- Knowing very little about the film except that it was a Toronto film fest pick last year, Daniel Sanchez-Arevalo's award-winning title DarkBlueAlmostBlack will see distribution via Strand Releasing later in 07’. Spain’s distrib house Sogepaq pacted the deal.The gay-themed film goes as such: Living according to others’ expectations – be they society’s or those of family and friends – can be suffocating. Daniel Sánchez Arévalo’s tender debut, DarkBlueAlmostBlack, examines the feeling of entrapment that arises when needs and desires are subjugated to family obligations. It is also an astute exploration of generational politics in Spain, where the young are generally expected to carry on traditions and values. Jorge (Quim Gutiérrez) is forced to put his career plans on hold when his father, Andrés (Héctor Colomé), suffers an incapacitating stroke and is unable to take care of himself. The debut feature has collected a fair amount of silverware – including 3 Goya awards. »
