The Basque production company Txintxua Films will be presenting Kilger (Asier Altuna) at the Small is Biútiful professional forum, which meets on June 23. The forum falls under the festival’s umbrella and provides a space where Spanish producers can present their film projects to a select group of professionals from the Ile-de-France region, with the aim of creating co-production projects.

As with previous editions, the Etxepare Basque Institute is lending its support to the festival by sponsoring Basque cinema and helping Basque production companies participate in Small is Biútiful.
