In celebration of Women’s this March, Instituto Cervantes de Manila, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain, Intramuros Administration and the Film Development Council of the Philippines will be holding “Espacio Femenino: Spanish and Filipino Female Filmmakers,” featuring movies by female directors. The film cycle aims to highlight the contribution of women to the film industry.
The movies will be screened every Saturday at 4PM in Instituto Cervantes Intramuros, located at Plaza San Luis Complex, Intramuros.
Opening feature on March 9 is the Spanish film “Los amores cobardes” (2018) by Carmen Blanco. It tells the story of Eva, a strong and independent woman, who returns to her hometown to spend the summer holidays with her mother and Gema, her only true friend. She least expects to meet Ruben, her ex-boyfriend, who broke off with her unexpectedly years ago for no apparent reason without even saying goodbye.
The Galician film “A palabra xusta” (2016) will be shown on March 16. It had for protagonist a 92-year-old teacher who returns to a house that has seemingly stood still in time. There, she starts a conversation with her memories, reflections of a life trapped in old photographs, and the memory of the love of her life, Antonio Beiras.
On March 23, short films by female directors will be featured, such as “Café para llevar” (2014), “Una vez” (2015), “Camino de agua para un pez “(2016), “Einstein-Rosen” (2016), “Lucrecia “(2016), “Conservas” (2017), and a Filipino short film --“Gikan sa Ngitngit nga Kinaidlaman” (2017).
Finally, the film cycle will close with the movie “Con el viento” (2017) by Meritxell Colell, which is about a dancer and choreographer, Mónica, who receives a call informing that her father is seriously ill. Unfortunately, he dies before she gets to see him. Her mother asks her to stay and help her sell the house. However, they are like two strangers who will have to know more about each other and learn to live together.
FREE ADMISSION on a first-come, first-served basis. For further information please log on to Instituto Cervantes’ website (http://manila.cervantes.es), Instituto Cervantes Facebook page Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
