Zaniki triumphs at the Rizoma festival

Last Sunday, the audience award was given to the film Zaniki, by Gabriel Velázquez (Starring Mayalde) at the Rizoma festival, http://www.rizomafestival.com
Rizoma is an alternative art, music, and film festival that comes from New York and this year brought Laurie Anderson, a multidisciplinary artist and musician, who was Lou Reed's romantic partner, as a guest.

Before the presentation, the group Mayalde performed, surprising the young audience that filled the alternative music hall. Several attendees and the director himself stated that they could perfectly perform at Sónar, the most modern Barcelona festival in Europe, dedicated to electronic and advanced music. Everything will come.

The jury was composed of Enrique Lavigne, producer of films by Bayo, Medem, Fesser, or Coixet among many others, Kim Yutani, the director of the Sundance Festival, and Adrian Silvestre, winner of last year's edition. The award was presented by Julita Salmerón, the protagonist of the multi-award-winning film "Many Kids, a Monkey and a Castle" directed by Gustavo Salmerón.

The event took place at the Cineteca del Matadero in Madrid, attended by renowned musicians, actors, and personalities from Spanish culture.

Zaniki has received support from the Salamanca City Council through the Salamanca Film Commission.

It will premiere on the upcoming 14th at the Liceo cinema in Salamanca.
