The Spanish film festival is a major national event in Italy. It is a travelling festival that is hosted by cities of great cultural and strategic importance such as Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, Bologna, Turin and Bergamo. It is a unique film exhibition initiative allowing people based in Rome and broader audiences to discover and engage with a carefully-honed selection of films from Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America. It provides a showcase of new trends in mainstream Spanish cinema as well as focusing on independent, artistic and experimental Spanish films.
AC/E collaborated with the festival again in 2017 by facilitating the presence of Spanish filmmakers during the screenings and presentations of their films.
The Festival celebrated its 10th edition in 2017. In addition to Rome, the event took place in Trento, Trieste, Ancona, Torino, Reggio Calabria and Milan, and again closed in Rome at the end of September with ‘Cine en Camino’, a section dedicated to documentary and experimental Spanish film.
Spain’s participation is the core of the event. In addition to the already mentioned Anna Castillo, it was attended by Inés Paris, Isaki Lacuesta and Isa Campo, Jonás Trueba, Rossy de Palma and Belén Rueda. They all took part in talks with audiences and exchanged opinions with distributors and producers to encourage networking.
THE NEW LATIN AMERICAN WAVE is a panoramic section on the latest trends in contemporary Latin American cinema. This year four films were shown in this section: El ciudadano ilustre by Cohn and Duprat of Argentina, Rara by Pepa San Martín, A Thousand-headed Monster by Rodrigo Plá, and Neruda by Pablo Larraín.
