Films premiering in the HSBC Spanish Film Festival, touring nationally 11 Jun-14 Jul.
Inspired by true events, Patricia Font’s superb drama follows a teacher whose progressive outlook transforms the lives of a group of young students on the eve of the Spanish Civil War, but places him in the crossfire of local authorities.
A moving tribute to cinema and the magical power of storytelling, the new film from multi award-winning director Lone Scherfig (An Education, Italian for Beginners) follows a young woman’s coming-of-age in a Chilean mining town.
From David Trueba, the moving true story of the iconic Catalan humorist Eugenio Jofra whose hilarious, deadpan alter-ego became a staple of Spanish comedy in the turbulent 70s, despite considerable turmoil behind the scenes.
