Filmax announced multiples deals for new films

The Elderly is a horror film by Raul Cerezo and Fernando Gonzalez Gomez (The Passenger), which the octogenarian Manuel enters into a state of dementia after the sudden suicide of his wife, sparking a series of paranormal events that will put his family's lives at risk. The movie stars Zorion Eguileor, from Netflix's hit genre-movie, The Platform (audience award winner at the film festivals in Toronto and Sitges, also winning the award for Best Film at the latter), Gustavo Salmeron (Lots of Kids, a Monkey and a Castle), Paula Gallego (The Passenger) and Irene Anula. The producers are Jose Luis Rancaño (Persons Films) and Mamen Espinosa (La Dalia Films).

The Elderly will be during the Cannes film market in May and the feature is due to be completed in June of this year.

While Unicorns is the first fictional movie from the multi-award-winning director, editor and writer Alex Lora and it tells the story of Isa, a young woman with a magnetic personality, who's the perfect reflection of her generation: young people who want it all, even if that means risking ending up with nothing. Among the honors that director already has under his belt are five New York Emmy Awards, one nomination at the Oscars Student Academy Awards, one nomination at the Spanish Academy Awards and two Catalan Film Academy Awards, as well as participating twice, with two short films, in the official section of Sundance.

The film will made its debut for the first time at the Cannes film market this May, where buyers will be able to watch the first promo. The film is due to be completed by autumn, 2022.

On the other hand, Dear Grandma, the second feature from director Jabi Elortegi, is a fun, Basque comedy, in which the protagonist, Mikel, decides to accept the dubious invitation of Chelo, a long-lost relative, to make a radical change in his life and move to Argentina. Once there, he soon discovers that nothing is as he'd been told, and to make matters worse, he finds himself obliged to stay after Chelo's mother suddenly wakes up from the catatonic state she's been in for years and confuses him with Juanito, her dead brother and Mikel's grandfather.

The company will be presenting the film for the first time at the Cannes film market, where buyers will be able to watch the first promo. The film is due to be completed by July of this year.

And finally, Filmax has taken the international rights to Four's a Crowd, the new feature from the renowned, highly talented and always original Spanish director, Álex De la Iglesia. The film is a wild, romantic comedy and a very personal reflection on human joy and misery, where nothing is as it seems and even a car-sharing app can become the new Tinder. The film is directed and written (along with his usual co-writer, Jorge Guerrica Echevarría) by De la Iglesia.

The film will be released it at the end of 2022. In the meantime, buyers will be able to see exclusively the first promo.
