We have been part of festivals such as Visions du Réel, Zinebi, L’Alternativa, Play Doc, Cineuropa, Edimburgh International Film Festival, CinAlfama Lisbon International Film Festival, Voix Vives, Curtocircuíto, Festival Internacional de Cine Invisible de Bilbao, Downtown Urban Arts Festival…
Xas Films is an independent production company open to the world
We open new paths
Making impossible movies is an obligation; you have to break an egg to create a universe
In our films there is room for poetry, that’s how it all began, playing to translate verses into images, looking for hidden meanings between the lines. A new film is a new universe in which its own rules govern, a poem that creates its own alphabet, a new language born of silence. Xas Films is our alibi, the cover to continue shaping the chaos.
The Procession of the Xas is an old Galician legend, a nocturnal procession of the souls of the living who sleep. The souls carry a coffin and if you are lucky enough to cross them you will see yourself. Depending on how far your soul is from the coffin in the procession, you will die sooner or later. The image is always a ghost. Xas Films, we manufacture ghosts.
