Cine Club opens for 22-23 with a screening of También la lluvia (Icíar Bollaín, 2010): a film in which a crew arrives in Cochabamba, Bolivia, to shoot a controversial film about Christopher Columbus. When the main actor and extras rise up against the privatization of their drinking water, their struggle to make the film intertwines with the struggle of their Bolivian crew members, deprived of their most basic rights ̵ prohibited from collecting even the rain.
The film will be screened in Spanish with English subtitles.
Cine Club is run by staff based in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies (SPLAS). Each month, a member of staff chooses a Spanish or a Portuguese language film to screen, after which the film will be discussed in the target language. The screenings are primarily aimed at students in SPLAS, but if you are an MLC student and understand Spanish or Portuguese, don’t hesitate to join. We welcome all levels and Cine Club is a wonderful opportunity for extra speaking and listening practice.
This month’s Cine Club will be introduced by Manuel Lagares, and if you have any questions, you can contact Dr Olivia Hellewell!
