"You don't want to see Magaluf angry…" A festival promo trailer has launched for the indie documentary titled Magaluf Ghost Town, directed by Spanish filmmaker Miguel Ángel Blanca. This is premiering at the HotDocs Film Festival in Canada soon, with this trailer being released now to bring some extra attention to it. Magaluf is a beach town on the Spanish island of Majorca (aka Mallorca) in the Mediterranean, where many British travel for vacation each year. The place is now a real ghost town due to pandemic restrictions shutting down travel for the last year. But this doc film takes us back into the heart of this globally infamous mass-tourism mecca (dubbed the "Twin Peaks of the Balearics"), exploring how local people experience the impacts of tourism. The film is described as an "ensemble piece that offers a portrait of a community as it navigates the transition from hibernation to the high season." I'm very curious about this, and curious if it's going to end by saying that tourists leaving the place empty is better than when it was full. Very interesting. ›››
