This is the fourth day of the Festival and yesterday, for the third day on the run an animated film was screened in the Official Selection. On this occasion the San Sebastián director Isabel Herguera’s debut film El Sueño de la Sultana is competing for the Golden Shell, a milestone that the makers of the film celebrated by stressing that animated cinema is not a genre but is a means through which you can tell any kind of story. The executive producer Chelo Loureiro said that programmers often find it difficult to opt for these kinds of films, but little by little they were managing to break down taboos. In this case El sueño de la sultana is a film that doesn’t hide its feminist sympathies. The original source of the project was the short story of the same name by the Bengali author Rokeya Hussain in 1905, which describes a utopian world governed by women after they have taken control of their own destiny. When the text fell into Isabel Herguera’s hands, it was a real eye-opener for her and she confesses that as soon as she’d finished reading it, she knew that she wanted to reconstruct this land of women imagined by the author in a film.
