This year’s Spanish Film Festival program, exclusive to Palace Cinemas around Australia, boasts 38 features from across Spain, Latin-America, and beyond, as varied as the ceramic tiles on a Gaudi masterpiece.
The Festival will open with Emilio Martínez-Lázaro’s Spanish Affair, which was seen by over two million people in the fortnight following its release in Spain. This comedic tale mischievously pokes fun at cultural differences as it tracks a young southerner who tenaciously seeks to win the heart of a Basque girl, making it a very Spanish affair indeed. Starring popular stand-up comic and presenter Dani Rovira, and the charming Clara Lago, Spanish Affair fast became a must-see in Spain and will be a sure-fire crowd pleaser at the 2015 Spanish Film Festival.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and winner of the Goya for Best Foreign Film, the Closing Night film Wild Tales is out to prove that there is an animal in all of us. Director Damián Szifrón has achieved a banquet of bad behaviour from everyday people that are pushed to their limits in a wicked anthology of six standalone shorts that are unified by a theme of vengeance. This film has won the hearts of critics and audiences alike and the crowd is sure to go wild for this film on Closing Night.
The 2015 Spanish Film Festival tours Australia from April 21 to May 20, and thanks to the festival we have 5 double in-season passes to give away to readers in Australia.
