The latest edition of the Santa Clarita International Film Festival kicks off in California, where Diego Gardo and Victor Candela are competing with their outstanding debut short film, CINCO.

The screening will be at the spectacular Laemmle in Newhall.

CINCO premiered worldwide this autumn at the prestigious Tirana International Film Festival in Albania. A qualifying film event for the Hollywood Oscars and the European Film Awards.

Synopsis:

Ruby is a young man from a working-class neighborhood in Madrid, tired of the violence and distrust that define his group of friends’ daily lives.
Together with Nélson, Daniela, and Alexis, he spends the eve of Saint John’s Night, where every plan and every action turn into a competition among the boys to validate their status within the group.

As night falls, Ruby finds himself at odds with his friends over an alleged theft, with the flames of the Saint John’s bonfires as silent witnesses.

Stay tuned. In a few days, we will announce new successes for this excellent German-Spanish co-production.
