Marbella Summer Film Festival August 23-29

There is a week of free screenings taking place in Plaza Antonio Banderas in Puerto Banus from 23-29 August as an extension of the Marbella Film Festival which takes place in the Autumn. 

Each evening starting at 9:30 pm, the festival offers some of the outstanding works from the past festivals, free of charge! The award winning films  scheduled for screening this August are from Spain, UK. U.S.A, Russia, Germany, Italy, Iran, Afghanistan, Argentina, Denmark, Ireland and India. There are short films, animation, documentaries and feature films in the original version with English or Spanish subtitles.

Detailed programs of the titles, subjects and times can be found in the Marbella Tourist Offices in Marbella and Puerto Banus, the Marbella Casino, Hotel H10 Andalucia Plaza and at the stands of Antonio Banderas plaza in Puerto Banus or online at www.marbellafilmfestival.com.

I’d really suggest you take advantage of this if you like culture. We went along to last year’s film festival and there was a great programme of films and entertainment, totally free, but hardly anyone was there! I think this is crazy when it’s such a great event, so this is your second chance to see some of the best bits. I hope you’ll be able to make it.

Here is the full programme:

A busy week of networking ahead!

I am a firm believer in the power of networking and would always recommend that networking is one of your key marketing tools.

This week there are 4 networking meetings that I’ve heard of and I’ll be going along to most of them. If you want to start marketing your business effectively, why don’t you come along too? It can be a little scary sometimes, but it’s a great way to build awareness of your business, build trust and make professional and personal contacts.

Marbella Tweet-up: From online to face to face networking

I think Twitter is a great way to share news, promote events and keep up to date with your specialist area for business development. However, one major drawback of networking online through Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In and others, is that your community can be spread around the globe and let’s face it without meeting someone in person it is difficult to build trust in them to the point that you’d engage in business with them! To overcome this, the Twitter community organises what they call Tweet-ups so that those on Twitter in the same area can get together and cement their online relationships.
