Festival of New Spanish Cinema

Festival Of New Spanish Cinema Vancouver 2012Feb 10–Feb 16

The energy of Almodovar. The risk-taking of Amenabar. The unadulterated exhilaration of Buñuel. Organized by Pragda and Aja Entertainment, the Vancouver event is the last stop of our festival’s tour which has traveled across North America, from Ottawa to Miami.

This year’s selection is the biggest and riskiest yet, unveiling the next generation of Spanish film legends. Featuring first-time filmmakers and established masters alike, the very best in contemporary Spanish cinema comes to Vancouver. Join us for award-winning comedies, romances and dramatic masterpieces.
