Praise for the Festival
The town of O Porriño is known all over Spain and some places abroad. So much tat it wouldn’t be strange to find a regular Hollywood star standing on a chimpín one of these days.La Voz de Galicia (9/5/2006) Emma Suarez walked along the stony paths of Cans, a bit amazed by the fact that the guests’ buffet, served in a different place, consisted of roasted red sausages, leg of pork and callos (typical casserole of veal tripe and chick-peas) when there was a temperature of 40 degrees outside. El País, (29/05/2006) “My daughter watches me on tv from Venezuela”, says a proud Alicia Sánchez, who has lent her “stables” as a showroom. The same happens to Pepe Puime, the chimpibús driver, whom his daughter identifies in the newspaper from the Canary Islands. Diario Qué! (26/05/2006) Cans, apart from countryglamour, has a big repercusión in the media. It may also be because it gathers celebrities, although not as many as in “La Croissete”. El País (29/05/2006) “This is like Sundance, the difference is there are “chimpibuses” instead of buses”. (Luís Tosar) When glamour travels in Chimpines (small tractors), wears orange and makes a toast with beer, it means we have changed Cans. La Voz de Galicia (28/05/2006) The ironically called “countryglamour” makes the main stars feel happy and comfortable. Magazine (18/06/2006) Cans, capital of countryglamour (…) so on one hand there is the Cannes Festival and on the other the Cans Festival. “There is no more than one mother but there are two Can(ne)s Festivals”. “I think Cans is the best Short Films Festival. I’ve been to a lot and this one is worth it”. “Twenty minutes. No more, no less. That was the time it took for the 240 tickets for the second edition of the Cans Short Films Festival to run out last Friday (...) the contest has already become one of the most important cinematographic events and the most awaited out of the ones celebrated in Galicia.” |
