Welcome to the London Spanish Film Festival CORE The London Spanish Film Festival launches its 12th edition with an extraordinary line-up of recent Spanish films, most of them UK premieres and a unique opportunity to watch them in London. PROGRAMME We’ll open with the much acclaimed La novia, Paula Ortiz’s second film, based on Federico García Lorca’s classic Bodas de sangre. Our closing film, Endless Night, is Isabel Coixet’s international production, which opened last year’s Berlin Film Festival, starring Juliette Binoche and Rinko Kikuchi. We are happy to welcome back Ana Rodríguez Rosell, who comes with her second film, Falling, an international production in which she’s worked again with Emma Suárez and the German-Turkish Birol Ünel. The three of them will be on stage to present the film. Another co-production we are happy to present is Fernando León de Aranoa’s A Perfect Day, featuring an extraordinary international cast challenged by the Balkans war effects in this comedy-drama. The extraordinary actress Blanca Portillo will join us as well to present Lydia Zimmermann’s documentary María conversa and talk with Prof. Maria Delgado about her acting work. As part of our Basque Window, veteran Imanol Uribe will present Lejos del mar, a film about the feelings of absence and vengeance provoked by terrorism, and Bárbara Goenaga will present Pikadero, by the Scottish, Basque Country-based, Ben Sharrock. Model and actor Jon Kortajarena, not exactly a newcomer to film as his debut was in Tom Ford’s A Single Man, will present the short 36 Hours and Acantilado. Our 8th Catalan Window will bring the fresh but solid debut of four film students, Les amigues de l’Àgata, a drama about the youths who participated in the last big battle of the Spanish Civil War, Ebre, which will be presented by the historian and Hispanist Paul Preston. Last but not least, we are proud to partner with BFI in the presentation of El Sur, Víctor Erice’s masterpiece about loss and memory, which is part of Pedro Almodóvar’s carte blanche for their full retrospective. We hope you will enjoy our selection and all the events of our 12th edition!

Thank you. 1 The Passion of Marta Díaz de Lope Díaz: A Conversation with the Filmmaker In her directorial debut, Ronda native Marta Díaz de Lope Díaz takes inspiration from the cartography of her origin for her filmic vision. Her cultural roots anchor her life and filmography, that she has been perfecting over the years of her study and teaching at the ESCAC film school in Barcelona. Her first feature-length film, Mi querida cofradía (Hopelessly Devout), clearly reflects this influence since it drinks and revels in the most traditional celebration of her hometown: Holy Week. Likewise, as can be seen in this interview, the feature establishes an interesting parallel between the passion of the protagonist Carmen (Gloria Muñoz) to realize her dream of leading her Catholic brotherhood and the aspiration of its own Marta Díaz to become a film director. With humor, her cinema masterfully delves into the experiences of women, of their sisterhood, in both the private and public spheres, displaying the obstacles that they encounter when trying to fulfill their goals in a man’s world and exhibiting their skills at overcoming interference.

  • Cochran,-Diana---Seeing-Inside--The-Sea-Inside-.Pdf
    “Among college-age youth (20–24 years) in the United States, suicide is the third leading cause of death.”1 Our youth today struggle with emotional and mental issues which are sometimes manifested in self-destructive behaviors or even attempts at suicide. Thus, I believe the Spanish film “Mar Adentro” (The Sea Inside) is powerful and relevant to our college-aged students. It relates the true story of Ramón Sampedro who is paralyzed in a diving accident and spends the next twenty-nine years of his life fighting for the legal right to carry out an assisted suicide. He loses the legal battle, but does find someone to help him end his life. He sips potassium cyanide from a straw as this person films his death. This event, which occurs in Galicia, Spain in 1998, sparks a national debate in Spain about the legality and justification of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and suicide in general. In the aftermath of Sampedro’s death, the filming of which was exposed to the public, his suicide assistant (a close female friend) is arrested, then released, and a popular campaign erupts in Spain with many claiming to be “the one” who helped him die. Even politicians show their support for his decision by signing a document stating they helped Sampedro to die.2 I use this film in a 300-level course called “Hispanic Culture through the Media Arts”. One of my objectives in the course is to begin to develop the skill of comprehending a wide variety of topics in films. This movie certainly helps in that regard.
