CINEART Spain kicks off its year long program with a screening of ARRAIANOS, directed by ELOY ENCISO CACHAFEIRO, at the Museum of the Moving Image on January 5. The film will be part of the Museum’s prestigious First Look screenings and will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

With its debut in 2012, First Look was instantly recognized as a vital new addition to New York’s film scene, an oasis of thoughtful and provocative filmmaking amid the hype and noise of the awards season. It is a great way for New York filmgoers to start the year, just ahead of the Sundance and Rotterdam film festivals. In its second year, First Look has expanded its breadth, with genre-defying and boundary-pushing works of all forms, demonstrating how cinematic creativity and depth can be found in modes as divergent as action movies and the avant-garde. Programmed by Dennis Lim, editor of Moving Image Source; Rachael Rakes, Assistant Curator of Film; and David Schwartz, Chief Curator.
