What International Relevance does the 22nd Edition of the Seville European Film Festival have?

- Professional Forum: The FRAME Sevilla program brought together more than 1,100 professionals, including renowned producers and distributors.
What film will open the 22nd Edition of the Seville European Film Festival?
The 22nd Seville European Film Festival already has an opening film: it will be the national premiere of 'The Last Viking', the choice could not have been more appropriate. Jensen, an Oscar winner and a true icon of Danish arthouse cinema, culminates with this film three decades of fruitful collaboration with Mikkelsen.
Screenings are being held in iconic theaters such as the Cine Cervantes and the Teatro Alameda, as well as in commercial cinema complexes such as MK2 Nervión Plaza, and also in venues such as the Cartuja Center CITE for major events.
What discoveries does the official section of the 22nd Seville European Film Festival showcase?
