This year’s crop of new Spanish films is exceptionally strong… We started out with plans to show four films, but the quality was such, we’ve ended up with 13 (and one classic, The Executioner, often described as “the greatest Spanish film ever made”).
The selection includes multiple Goya (Spanish Oscar) winners, including El 47 (Best Film), Saturn Return (Best Director), The Blue Star (Best New Director), The Flamenco Guitar of Yerai Cortés (Best Documentary) and Black Butterflies (Best Animation), as well as award-winners from many festivals and acclaimed new works from such established auteurs as Julio Medem (8), Albert Serra (Afternoons of Solitude) and Alejandro Amenábar (The Captive). All of these films, barring The Executioner, are Vancouver premieres.
Join us for a tapas buffet and wine-tasting January 9 or a live flamenco show, January 11.
