“¡Conquistarán tu cocina!” (They will conquer your kitchen!) is the slogan for THE ELFKINS (Spanish title: LOS ELFKINS), as the film starts on 200 screens all across Spain. The premieres in Barcelona and Madrid were a huge success already. For nationwide exploitation, the film was, besides Spanish, translated into Catalan and Basque. Our great “thank you!” goes to Spanish distributor VERCINE DISTRIBUCIÓN for their elaborate campaign – we are thrilled that Elfie and her friends are now conquering the kitchens (and hearts) of the Spanish audience!
