As if there weren’t already enough good reasons to visit the beautiful island of Mallorca an International Film Festival will be launching in 2011. According to recent reports in the Daily Mail.
The event is the brainchild of island resident David Carreras – an eminent Spanish director originally born in Barcelona – and is planned for April 2011. With the objective of placing Mallorca firmly on the international cultural map.
‘The island is stunning, we have beautiful scenery and it would be perfect to hold an international event like this,’ he said.
‘Apart from the exhibition of films and the media attraction for the red carpet, the Festival will organise multiple parallel events such as concerts, performances, and gastronomic shows – ultimately for the international general public to enjoy.’
He said: ‘When you ask people what they think of Mallorca they are very negative, but you change your mind when you go. It is a wonderful place, the interior of the island is lovely.
‘I sometimes wake up and look at the view and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be living there.’
