Emiliano De Pablos Sideral, the Madrid-based integrated production-distribution-sales label, has acquired Spanish distribution rights to Enrique Buleo’s black comedy film “Bodegón con fantasmas” (“Still Life with Ghosts”), one of the six films playing at Málaga’s WIP España sidebar.

Buleo’s first feature, “Still Life with Ghosts” has been produced by Alejandra Mora at Valencia’s Quatre Films (“Tehran Blues,” “An Elephant on a Spider Web”) and Juan Cavestany’s Cuidado con el Perro, the production house behind Movistar Plus’ series “Sentimos las molestias” and feature “Un efecto óptico.” “Still Life with Ghosts” narrates with absurdist humor and magical realism five different intertwined stories about ghosts and living inhabitants in a small town in Spain’s Castilla-La Mancha region.

They feel anguished by the troubles and predicaments of life and death, but do everything possible to solve them. The film counts on the support of Spain’s ICAA film institute, Valencia’s Culture institute, Media Europe, and the participation of Valencian pubcaster À Punt Media, Castilla-La Mancha Media and tourism promotion entity Eturia CLM. “We look for fresh, fun and original films, and ‘Still Life with Ghosts’ is all of that,” said María Oliva, distribution and communication responsible at Sideral. “Since we learned about the project at its development stage, we wanted to be able to reach this deal.

Now that we have done it, we are looking forward to sharing it with the audience,” she added. Sideral plans a theatrical release of the film in Spain during this year.
