Belfast gets its first Spanish Film Festival this month!
The Strand Arts Centre has teamed up with the London Spanish Film Festival to take over Screen 6 at ODEON Victoria Square from 27th to 29th November, while the legendary Strand itself is being refurbished. Four new films from Spain across one weekend, all with English subtitles, and the first time the Strand has hosted anything like it.
The four films cover plenty of ground. Los Justos locks nine jurors in a room and offers each of them a million euros to change their verdict. Rondallas follows a Galician village reviving its old music after a loss, warming from drama into comedy as it goes. Mi Amiga Eva is Cesc Gay’s story of a woman who leaves a long marriage at fifty and goes looking for love again. Karmele carries a Basque woman from wartime exile in France to Venezuela and eventually home.
Festival director Joana Granero calls this opening edition “just a taste of what we hope to bring to Belfast in the years to come”, with the ambition of building a lasting connection between Belfast and Spain through cinema.
