Director Pablo Berger started off his directorial career with the short Mama in 1988, and later directed the award winning Torremolinos 73 in 2003. Blancanieves, his follow up, was in development for eight years, but the long wait is well worth it. The black-and-white, silent reinterpretation of Snow White topped Spain’s 27th Spanish Academy Goya Awards, winning 10 statues, including best film and original screenplay and became Spain’s official entry for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
