Advance tickets now available for Official Competition!

When a billionaire entrepreneur impulsively decides to create an iconic movie, he demands the best. Renowned filmmaker Lola Cuevas is recruited to mastermind this ambitious endeavour. Completing the all-star team are two actors with massive talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero and radical theatre actor Iván Torres. Both are legends, but not exactly best friends. Through a series of increasingly eccentric trials set by Lola, Félix and Iván must confront not only each other, but also their own legacies. Who will be left when the cameras finally start rolling? Spanish with English subtitles.

Venice Film Festival: Best Film, Golden Lion, Queer Lion nominee!
Spanish Actors Union: Best Actress (Penélope Cruz) nominee!

5 Stars! “A hilarious and incisive skewering of vanity projects and the egos which propel them into the ground.” (Hey U Guys)

“a masterclass in comic timing and acerbic repartee. Every line delivery is immaculate…the film is packed with belly laughs” (Little White Lies)

“a crowd-pleasing comedy…consistently amusing…extremely funny” (Playlist)

“If you love movies, then you’ll love Official Competition. This delightful film-on-film satire has a ball while playing with the magic of cinema…It’s a delightful comedy that pays homage to the power that cinema has to move us from one emotion to the next, suspend our disbelief, and transport us to another place.” (That Shelf)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
