La semana del asesino (1973) + Panic Button (2011)
Plume (2011). Barry JC Purves. France. 14 min
LA SEMANA DEL ASESINO (1973). Eloy de la Iglesia. Spain. 96 min
After a heated discussion, a young man (Vicente Parra) accidentally murders a taxi driver with a single blow.

Eusebio Poncela, Lola Herrera and Emma Cohen complete the cast of a dirty, sharp and suffocating Iberian thriller that was well and truly savaged by Franco's censor who managed to impose an epilogue that was not exactly what Eloy de la Iglesia had in mind.
PANIC BUTTON (2011). Chris Crow. UK. 84 min

Unless...
