Filming of the film 'As Neves', Sonia Méndez's debut film, begins

The feature film As Neves, the debut feature of Vigo actress and director Sonia Méndez, began filming this Monday in Fonsagrada (Lugo). The film, co-produced by Cosmica Productions y Here and There Films, has the support of Galicia Television.

As Neves is a psychological drama that tells a modern teenage story, set in the countryside. Specifically, it shows how the routine of a group of boys from the town is altered by the disappearance of Paula, who was being harassed by her classmates. His disappearance coincides with the celebration of Carnival and the arrival of a snow storm that leaves the town isolated.

Sonia Méndez begins her first feature film as director after signing titles such as the documentary Luz Fandiño: an illiterate poet (2020); the digital series before losing or short films like Conversation with dead cuna muller (2012) y Café-Bar Santos Perruquería (2015).

In addition to As Neves, TVG has co-produced three other films this year: to vine, de Filmika Galaika, dirigida por Alberto García, aborda dentro del género del cine negro la crónica de un Ferrol detenido en el tiempo, de forma onírica y personal. Fatum, un ambicioso proyecto de Vaca Films, el primer largometraje de Juan Galiñanes, con guión de Alberto Marini. Es un thriller construido en torno a los tres pilares básicos de la vida: salud, dinero y amor; y el telefilme O meu ilustrisísimo amigo, de Agallas Films, que también contó con el apoyo de Televisión Canaria y TV3. Dirigida por la gallega Paula Cons, ahonda en la historia de amor de la condesa Emilia Pardo Bazán y el escritor Benito Pérez Galdós.
