PUNK GLOBE: What’s your opinion about indie filmmakers in Spain? Do you think they have  the opportunities they really deserve? 

ENRIQUE: Well, I won’t bite my tongue because I have nothing to lose. This thing about promoting Spanish independent filmmakers is a fallacy. They are all there, yes, but Spanish festivals and producers ignore them 90%. And therefore, they don’t care at all and turn their  backs on them as if they didn’t exist. Only those Spanish filmmakers who have the right  contacts make it to the top. But either someone in the family has good friends or these guys are  sponsored by any film school that would like to promote its brand… or perhaps they’re just  millionaires! And nothing of this has to do with art. So those filmmakers who reach the top, they may or may not be so talented. Or at least it doesn’t seem to be a specific requirement. There  are other things to be considered. In short, having any opportunities or not will always depend  on things not related to art. If someone is talented enough, has good friends or if he/she wins a lottery ticket, the better opportunities for him/her. Furthermore, most of the well-known Spanish festivals follow a similar pattern. From my point of view, even if these Spanish festivals motto is: “We promote new voices in the film industry”, this is completely false. They’ll never choose an  unknown filmmaker to compete in their festivals. They value other things. That’s how it is. And  since these festivals are only selecting short films, this is completely unknown to the public as a  rule. There’s no truly revolutionary festival that will select a film without looking at the  filmmaker’s pedigree. That’s so sad. But hey, many people try to earn a living the best they can.
