Javier Martín Domínguez, director of the Seville Film Festival, points out the quality of its film and filmmakers as the event's main goal. "I think the most important thing about Europe is that it is gathering people with ideas and that is a place of complete freedom, I don’t think it is based on local standards, it’s more about quality and analyzing topics that we find motivating and close to us".
