The Loved One’, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, which is a co-production with France, mostly Spanish and, specifically, from a Canary Islands company. In addition, part of the film was shot in various locations in Fuerteventura.

The important event with the seventh art in Cannes will also feature the film industry of the Canary Islands, as Canary Islands Film will have its own space at Marché du Film, the market parallel to the festival, where there will be a broad representation of the island’s audiovisual sector participating in meetings, presentations, and other actions aimed at the growth of the sector in the islands.
