Rodriguezen filmeko fotograma bat.

Xanti Rodríguez (Azpeitia, 1978) was about to return home on Monday morning from Sitges (Barcelona, Catalonia). Lekaime was presented yesterday at the International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, where the film premiered and the official section of the Sitges Festival will exhibit Rodríguez's film, which will compete alongside nine other films in the short film section. The ten films have been delivered this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, and yesterday's session was Lekaime's turn.

Rodríguez has stated that the premiere of the work "was very good" and that the film "was good". The director has been accompanied by the members of the film team and said that "we have known what Sitges means". In addition, he stressed that the "concern" he had for the march of Caparrós has been overcome: "We've had the opportunity to watch the rest of the films, of all kinds and from different countries, all of which are excellent bills. At first we had a point of concern about whether we gave a level. But we've overcome that concern, people have been satisfied."

On the 14th the festival of Sitges will end, in which the palmarés of the event will be announced. Five days later, on 19 October, it will be Lekaime’s turn in Azpeitia; it will be at the SOREASU theatre, at 21:00 hours.
