3 premieres on the same day

This morning I realized one curious thing. The three films to which I compose music last year have opened the very same day.
On the one hand, "Carmo hit the road" and "The anarchist's wife" were selected for Sundance Film Festival, and both films premiered last friday 16th. Each one on its own category.
And on the other hand, the last film I made, the italian-spanish coproduction "Imago Mortis" opened in Italy last friday too!!

When I compose the soundtrack to a film, one of the main things I want to see after the whole process is finished is the movie in the cinemas. The percentage of spanish films that are fisnished but do not make it to the theaters is really worrying.
That is why, to have 3 films premiere the very same day is quite amazing to me...

Anyway, to celebrate this I leave you with two more cues, "the thanatoscope" from Imago Mortis:

and "furtivos" from Carmo hit the road, didgeridoo included:
