Record el potencial del Festivalito, que promociona La Palma como un destino internacional y plat de cine privilegiado y que, adem s, este a o, a trav s de G-astrocine ha conjugado el s ptimo arte con las estrellas y la gastronom a, generando nuevas experiencias al alcance de residentes y visitantes.

Atr s queda una semana intensa de cine extremo que ha exigido a los participantes sintetizar sus ideas en apenas unos minutos de rodaje en planos de los que, al menos un 50%, deben estar grabados como m nimo en exteriores y con los que pueden concurrir a la secci n oficial y no oficial o a la de Cine con TICs que, en esta edici n, en la que los cielos de La Palma han tenido un especial protagonismo, llevan por nombre Lyra y Andr meda.
