If you care about independent film, you should go where discovery still exists.

The #Raindance2026 runs from 17-26 June with premieres, breakthrough filmmakers, and industry conversations.

Cinema is still alive. You just have to know where to look.

EN SILENCIO. LA RESILIENCIA DE ISCO ALARCÓN ha sido seleccionada oficialmente en el Raindance Film Festival 2026.

Una película nacida desde la intimidad, la espera y la observación viaja ahora a Londres para formar parte de uno de los grandes encuentros del cine independiente europeo.

Gracias a @Raindance por acoger una historia que no nació para explicar una lesión, sino para mirar de cerca lo que ocurre cuando nadie está mirando.

Nos vemos en Londres.
