The upcoming 44th Gijon Film Festival (Spain's edgiest major fest) will honor a trio of international indie icons, promising attendees a very cool event indeed.  Making the list is director Larry Clark (Kids and Ken Park), this year's Cannes Special Jury Prize winner (and pop culture documaker) Bruno Dumont (Flanders), and Peter Whitehead (Charlie Is My Darling and Benefit of the Doubt).

All three will attend the festival (running November 23rd thru December 1st) and receive retrospectives of their work, as well as offer some Q&A sessions for fans.

Clark's tribute will include his latest wacked-out feature, Latino skateboarding drama Wassup Rockers and Impaled (his contribution to the compilation of erotic films that form Destricted). An exhibition of Clark's photography also will be featured, so it’s a full on Clark experience.

Retrospective dedicated to French director Dumont will encompass Flanders, 2003's California road and sex movie Twentynine Palms as well as Humanity (1999) and The Life of Jesus (1997).

Liverpudlian Whitehead's tribute includes awesome footage he shot of 1960s pop stars (such as the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix… how cool is that?!) as well as the 1967 Swinging London chronicle Tonite Let's All Make Love in London.  If you’re a Pink Floyd fan (and if you’re not, you should be) check out Pink Floyd London ’66 -’67 which is a short movie showing the footage of them laying down the tracks for the above mentioned chronicle.

The ‘call for entries’ is still going on, so the complete festival line-up should be due out in October.  If you have a taste for indie films and sangria… Gijon would be very worth checking out!
