It is already a summer classic. The appearance of Queen Letizia at the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest. As usual in every edition, Letizia takes great care of the ‘look’ with which she attends the festival. This year she opted for a tight, asymmetrical red dress by Carolina Herrera. A ‘look’ that clearly shows her excellent physical shape. She paired the asymmetrical dress with a side zipper with sensible-heeled Gucci mules and a golden handbag.

Faithful to her summer appointment in Palma, Queen Letizia closed the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest this Sunday. The wife of Felipe VI was in charge of presenting the Master of Cinema award to French composer Alexandre Desplat, a two-time Oscar winner who has received 12 nominations for this award. At the 16th edition of this closing ceremony, which the Queen attends every summer during her stay in the Balearic capital, she witnessed the premiere of El ser querido alongside its director, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, and its star, Javier Bardem. The cast also included actors Victoria Luengo, Raúl Arévalo, Melina Mathews, screenwriter Isabel Peña, and producers Eduardo Villanueva and Nacho Lavilla.
The Queen was received upon her arrival at the festival held at La Misericordia in Palma by the President of the Congress, Francina Armengol, and the Balearic President, Marga Prohens. She was also accompanied by the city’s mayor, Jaime Martínez, and the President of the Consell, Llorenç Galmés. The gala began with a musical performance by Mallorcan artist Júlia Colom, followed by the presentation of the night’s awards. Actors Miguel Bernardeau and Gael García Bernal also attended the event.

The event ended with the screening of the film El ser querido starring Javier Bardem, who attended the event with his siblings Carlos and Mónica. “Enjoy the film, which we made with a lot of love, with very good people in front of and behind the camera. I hope that spirit is contagious,” said Bardem, convinced that the film, which premiered at the Cannes Festival last May, “will move and shock” the audience. Director Sorogoyen took the opportunity to explain that the film, which talks “about fatherhoods, affections, and redemptions,” was made with a lot of love and craft and will premiere in Spanish cinemas on August 26. Victoria Luengo, who plays Bardem’s daughter, expressed her happiness to be able to premiere this project in her native Mallorca.
