It would feel like a disservice not to give it a mention. The film stands as one of the centerpieces of the festival and easily one of my most anticipated titles. Directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis), the film draws inspiration from Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca\u2019s unfinished work La Bola Negra, and is a sweeping historical epic set in 1932, 1937, and 2017. The film follows three men whose lives are connected by love, loss, sexuality, and inheritance. I have not had Miguel Bernardeau on my screen since season four of Elite. Big fan of the show and of his work there. To see him in something different and as major as La Bola Negra will be a special treat for me. The same with Los Javis. I haven\u2019t dived into their filmography, but they are familiar faces to me as judges on RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race: Spain. From the trailer to the still, this film is grand in every sense of the word. I will be seated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La Bola NegraDirected by Javier Ambrossi and Javier CalvoWritten by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo and Alberto Conejero&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70],"class_list":["post-306518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
