Pragda, a distributor of films from Spain and Latin America, has awarded Hamilton a grant for the organization of a Spanish Film Club festival. Five films will be featured in the festival organized by Visiting Assistant Professor of Hispanic Studies Luisa Briones-Manzano in collaboration with the Hispanic Studies Department, the Dean of Faculty and the Days-Massolo Center.

The film screenings, which are free and open to the public, are scheduled for Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Taylor Science Center’s Kennedy Auditorium.

Briones-Manzano said the festival will reinforce and increase “the discussion around historical memory (dictatorship and terrorism) with transversal topics of gender and race.

“The movies have a common subject of terror and fear that will be the leitmotiv to the approach of the screenings,” she added.

Films featured in the Spanish Film Club festival are:

  • Tuesday, Feb. 2: Bad Hair (Venezuela, 2014) (Pelo Malo), directed by Mariana Rondón. In Spanish with English subtitles.
  • Tuesday, Feb. 16: Clandestine Childhood (Argentina, Brazil, Spain, 2011) (Infancia Clandestina), directed by Benjamín Ávila. In Spanish with English subtitles.
  • Tuesday, March 1: Black Bread (Spain, 2010) (Pa Negre), directed by Agustí Villaronga. In Catalan with English subtitles.
