La Mirada Film Festival 2010 is delighted to announce multi award winning actor ANTONIO DE LA TORRE and acclaimed director JOSE ANTONIO SALGOT as special guests of the 2010 festival.
Antonio de la Torre will present the films, Fat People (Gordos) and The Island Inside (La Isla Interior), both having their Australian premieres in this year’s festival.
José Antonio Salgot will present Mother Dearly Beloved (Mater Amatisima), which has been selected by Pedro Almodóvar for his ‘Almodóvar Presents’ program in this year’s La Mirada.
Antonio de La Torre, is best known for his roles in Fat People (Gordos), Volver, Dark Blue Almost Black (AzulOscuroCasiNegro) and The Island Inside (La Isla Interior).

José Antonio Salgot describes himself as a student of almost everything and is a well regarded artist as well as filmmaker. His third film, Mother Dearly Beloved is an iconic oeuvre for Spanish film lovers, which tells the story of Clara (Victoria Abril), an attractive sophisticated and unmarried woman and the autistic child who transforms and absorbs her life.
Antonio de la Torre and José Antonio Salgot will be in Melbourne on Thursday 1 April for the opening night of La Mirada.
