December has traditionally been the month of Spanish cinema in NYC with the Film Society at Lincoln Center´s longest running film series: SPANISH CINEMA NOW. First founded in 1992, this year’s edition features 16 new features, a dynamic shorts program, and a 10-film retrospective of Spanish master director LUIS GARCÍA BERLANGA.
But this December filmlovers will enjoy a full celebration of Spanish Cinema in the City with two new programs: THE FORGOTTEN SPANISH NON FICTION AND ITS RENEWAL at the Anthology Film Archives will review four decades of Spanish non fiction cinema to highlight not only the connections between generations, but also the abyss that exists because of the political history of Spain. Isaaki Lacuesta, Jose Luis Guerín and Jonas Mekas will be some of the guests. (SMOVIES) CONTEMPORARY SPANISH CINEMA is an international conference where filmmakers and scholars will unravel the keys defining the evolution of the Spanish cinema over the past 20 years, and will spot new trends within the international panorama of contemporary cinema.
