SPANISH FILM CLUB
Celebrating a new wave of Ibero American Cinema

Twice a year, Spanish Film Club offers grants to help universities bring the very best in contemporary Spanish and Latin American cinema to campuses and to introduce students to the language and cultures of these territories. … More than 80 schools have participated in the program in [its] first year.

The inventive model allows universities to select a minimum of five films from a catalogue to create a film festival on campus. Representing 20 countries, the films have been carefully selected by a team of experts and are backed by the most important festivals and film critics. These films renew every year: This SFC cycle features 10 new films and a catalog of more than 38 titles.

HOW IT WORKS
– Grants cover up to 50% of the festival costs
– New award-winning titles from 20+ countries
– Virtual Q&As with the filmmakers
– 80+ universities participating so far!

New films this cycle include the award-winning and endearing Bad Hair (Venezuela), the new documentary by Gael Garcia Bernal Who is Dayani Cristal? (Mexico), the breathtaking Eternal Amazon (Brazil), the gripping real story of Operation E (Spain, Colombia), the beautifully animated Wrinkles (Spain), the thought provoking and inspiring Yvy Maraey: Land Without Evil (Bolivia), the award winning I thought it was a Party (Spain, Argentina), the outstandingly performed Illiterate (Chile), the deeply moving Cows Wearing Glasses (Puerto Rico), the intriguing thriller The Facilitator (Ecuador), and the smashing box office success 7 Boxes (Paraguay).
