En la primavera de 2026, una carta de amor a Federico García Lorca llegó a la Croisette con el peso de la historia y la urgencia del presente. Los Javis —Javier Calvo y Javier Ambrossi— presentaron 'La bola negra' en Cannes, cerrando una trilogía española en el festival más prestigioso del cine mundial. La película no solo rinde homenaje al poeta granadino, sino que reivindica abiertamente la dimensión queer de su vida y su obra, recordándonos que el arte de Lorca nunca fue separable de su deseo ni de su destino.
