The last speaker on February 1 will be Carlos Reviriego, cultural critic and director of the Filmoteca Española, for whom "telefiction has been able to take the pulse of the contemporary world with more lucidity than any other art form. And some television series find formal and narrative findings as relevant as the best cinema". Afterwards, the first episode of the second season of "Fortitude"(Movistar+) which, belonging to the "nordic noir" genre, was already a great success with audiences in its first season and stars Denis Quaid.
