Blancanieves - OPENING NIGHT

On January 3rd, 2013 the 24th Palm Springs International Film Festival opened with the screening of Spain's Oscar submission film ‘Blancanieves’ (2012) by Spanish director Pablo Berger.

The festival runs from January 3rd until the 14th and will host 475 screenings of 180 films from 68 countries over 13 days. More than 130,000 filmgoers from all over the world pack the theaters in what is arguably the nation’s most film-lover friendly film festival and this filmgoer’s favorite American international film festival.

The festival began 24 years ago by Sonny and Mary Bono and has grown into one of the world's most prestigious and loved international film festivals. Taking place at the start of the New Year and just before Oscar season it is also the most strategic film festival in the world for Academy Award positioning.
