Festival of New Spanish Cinema
Festival Of New Spanish Cinema Portland 2010Oct 08–Oct 17
The FESTIVAL OF NEW SPANISH CINEMA is back! And we’re sure you will find in its program the kind of stories you were looking for: Double agents! Awkward family gatherings! Crazy and boozy nights gone wrong! Unconventional romances! This and much more in your own city or very close, who can resist such a tempting offer?
From the 8th to the 17th of October 2010, the third edition of this travelling Festival will bring the latest works of Spanish filmmakers to the Northwest Film Center in Portland: stunning debuts (Me Too, Three Days with the Family) coincide with major works of renowned authors (The Island Inside, After) in a program which celebrates the diversity and vitality of contemporary Spanish Cinema. The goal of the FESTIVAL OF NEW SPANISH CINEMA tour is presenting to audiences from North America the finest offbeat, independent and artistically-inspired Spanish films from all genres: narrative, experimental, and animation.
Check our diverse and inspiring program, we’ll be sure to bring the charm and hospitality, and share our Spanish extravaganza with you!
