Since one of the fest sponsors is TVE, maybe TVE International will broadcast the opening ceremony next Thursday; I’ll be checking and if the find is positive will be my first time watching something from this festival.

Well, yes I'll be able to watch it and I'm recording the show to watch perhaps next Saturday!
