Manchester's 15th annual Spanish language film festival

¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Film Festival returns for its 15th edition with nine days of fantastic fact and fiction from Spain and Spanish speaking Latin American cinema. This year’s diverse selection ranges from Andalucian sci-fi to a Catalan documentary, Cuban comedy to an Argentine thriller, and films from a Mexican indigenous community to the Peruvian elite.

The festival features many highly acclaimed films from the skilfully crafted Argentine film, EL NIDO VACÍO, to the latest Goya Awards nominated films including the Colombian thriller PERRO COME PERRO, EL ÚLTIMO TRUCO and CENIZAS DE CIELO.

To commemorate 50 years since the Cuban Revolution there will be a special focus on Cuban cinema with the Cuba Libre season, including the cinematic classic MEMORIAS DE SUBDESAROLLO and contemporary features and shorts. Also look out for the excellent One Hour Intro events on Cuban Cinema, Spanish cinema, Spanish and Latin American Sci-Fi, and individual films; plus, don’t miss the chance to put your comments and questions to some of the filmmakers live and direct!
