Big Basque period production “Blind Ants,” “How the Lights Get In” from emerging director Diego Llorente and “War Material Captured From the Enemy,” the first feature directed by “The Others” editor Nacho Ruiz Capillas, all played at a vibrant second edition of Locarno’s Spanish Film Previews.   

Joined by Carmela Román’s “Bed of Grass” and “Juliette & Camille,” two hybrid doc-fictions, the lineup also served to underscore one big driver powering Spanish cinema: its bullish regional industries.
