Holly Jones With a delicately morose charm, Spanish actress-turned-director Liz Lobato is presenting her debut feature project, “Tierra de Nuestras Madres” as part of the 11th Fanfic Industria’s Ibero-American Work In Progress strand.The farcical fable scrutinizing globalization takes place in the village of La Mancha, where residents know each other thoroughly and tend to their routines like clockwork. There, beloved curmudgeon and central protagonist Rosario makes the rounds selling drug-laced fig salt to her neighbors as the town’s unknowingly sold out from under them by a bankrupt mayor.Shot in black and white, the film gives far more than it takes and absurdly relays the somber tale of corruption and a community bound to its roots so tightly its willing to sacrifice a soul or two to stay put, as futile an endeavor as that may be.
Owner left heartbroken after 'timid and loving' therapy dog is viciously mauled on walk outside apartment block

The owner of a 'timid and loving' therapy dog has been left heartbroken after his beloved pup was viciously mauled in an unprovoked attack last Friday (July 29). Chow Chow Nala was seen cowering against the railings in shocking footage of the attack, in which the perpetrating breed, thought to be an American XL Bully, charges at her outside the Affinity Living apartments.
Described as a 'joy', 'gentle' and 'unable to hurt a fly', the three-year-old pup has now been left on numerous painkillers and saw an emergency veterinary nurse, with costs so far of over £1,600. Distraught owner Az, who lives on nearby Greengate, said Nala has become 'part of the family' since he picked her as the runt of the litter in 2019 and trained her to be a specialist therapy dog.
Az Hussain, 38, who works in marketing, was on his way back from London when his 16-year-old nephew called him to say little Nala had been attacked whilst on her usual walking route. Video footage shows a passer-by in a brave attempt to pull the viscous dog off and kick it during what he said was a 10-minute ordeal.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, a clearly emotional Az said: "I had just got back from a trip in London and my nephew rang me screaming and crying that Nala had been attacked. He had taken her on her usual familiar route that she goes on, when this other dog just appeared from nowhere.
"You can tell by the way it was standing that it was aggressive. There was no owner around and it just charged at her and started biting and growling at her.
"As a 16-year-old boy he didn't know what else to do. He is so comfortable around Nala, she would never
