New Film Lineup

Julio Medem, one of Spain’s most distinctive and uncompromising cinematic voices, returns with 8, an ambitious, formally daring work that invites viewers to experience 90 years of Spanish history through emotion, memory, and metaphor.

Mariana Rondón’s dystopian fable, Zafari, uses surreal imagery and stark social contrasts to turn a starving city and a lone hippopotamus into a powerful allegory about inequality and societal collapse in contemporary Latin America.

Executive produced by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, ASCO: Without Permission is a propulsive documentary that chronicles the rise of underground Chicano art collective ASCO throughout their prolific punk uprising during the 1970s–80s.

A sharp, gripping Spanish thriller, Artificial Justice dives headfirst into one of today’s most urgent debates: the limits of artificial intelligence. Director Simón Casal blends noir, political conspiracy, and cyber-tension to imagine a near future where AI could replace judges in the name of efficiency.

A tender, deeply moving, tragicomedy about love, regret, and second chances. Led by superb performances, Myocardium follows a man whose world is shaken when his first love unexpectedly reappears, forcing him to confront unfinished emotional business.

An electrifying documentary, La Salsa Vive explores the transatlantic dialogue between two cities forever bound by rhythm: New York, where salsa was forged through migration, hybridity, and urban creativity; and Cali, Colombia, where it thrives today with unmatched intensity and devotion.

A bold and inspired reinvention of the Dark Knight, rooted in the powerful symbolism of 16th-century Mesoamerica. Set at the height of the Aztec Empire, the film follows Yohualli Coatl, a young man forged by loss who becomes Aztec Batman to fight Spanish colonization.

A striking biographical drama, A Wolf Among Swans follows the extraordinary journey of Thiago Soares, a boy from the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro who trades the rhythms of hip hop for the discipline of classical dance all the way to London’s Royal Ballet.

One of the most incisive Mexican comedies of recent years, Almost Paradise reimagines Luis Spota’s classic satirical novel into a vibrant portrait of a society shaped by image, influence, and social media. Sharp, politically charged, and deeply rooted in Latin American cultural critique. 

Pérez Rodríguez is a delightful, moving, and sharply funny satire that unfolds across three family gatherings—a birth, a funeral, and a birthday—using raw dark humor to dissect national identity, middle-class aspirations, and social hypocrisy through a vivid gallery of contradictory but deeply human characters.

“The Spanish Film Club catalog offers an outstanding selection of films. Our students truly enjoy the screenings, which are always followed by lively discussions. The Pragda organization and support staff are a pleasure to work with and a key reason we continue to apply for the grant.” – Sharon Whitfield, Dean of the Library at Rider University
