SPAIN IN A DAY & NO ES TAN FRÍA SIBERIA

 

  • On March 14 at 7 pm.

What do the Spaniards love? What do they fear? What do they believe? Based on the concept of Life in a Day, directed by Kevin Macdonald and produced by Ridley Scott, Spain in a Day brings life to the story of Spanish people (in Spain and abroad) with the aim of creating a film made by them, while also reflecting the fears and dreams of today’s Spain for the Spanish people of tomorrow, at a time of considerable social and cultural changes.

No es tan fría Siberia asks the question “Why would someone offer all his memories to a complete stranger?”

  • Directed by Isabel Coixet, 2015, 118 minutes.
