28 THE LIST FESTIVAL 1 Sep–31 Oct 2017
ESFF was born in 2014, to strengthen the cultural and artistic links between Spain and Scotland, as well as creating a platform and networking opportunity for Scottish and Spanish-based cultural entities. I w o r k i n t h e H i s p a n i c S t u d i e s department at Edinburgh University and the Project started with the purpose of engaging with the public. It has been supported b y t h e Spanish Ministry of Culture and Creative Scotland, as well as some small businesses in town.
This year sees the fourth edition of the Festival. I am happy to announce a vibrant and energetic programme in Edinburgh, and this year there will be screenings in G l a s g o w a n d S t i r l i n g between October 5-31. We are proud to make our Festival accessible, inclusive and diverse for all audiences and show a variety of Spanish and Latin America cinema. For this reason, we will continue to offer a window into Catalan, Galician and Basque cinema.
returning The ‘Gastronomic Film Evening’ will be focused on Galicia with El equilibrio de los opuestos, featuring Chef Javier Olleros who will join us to share the ups and downs of life when his restaurant Culler du Pau was closed for two years. The evening will conclude with wine and tapas, offering the chance to taste the delicacies of the Spanish and Galician cuisine.
Don’t miss it! All of this and much more at……
2017 EDIN SPANISH FILM FEST OCTOBER 5TH | 31ST
Marian A. Aréchaga Curator. Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival
Our opening film this year is a moving, uplifting, humorous film 100 metros, the true story of a man suffering from MS who takes on the Iron Man. We have decided to make this a fundraising event for the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic who we will be supporting throughout the Festival.
Engaging with youngsters is one of our priorities so we will tour around Scotland with films for primary and secondary school pupils. Commemorating the 80th year of the 1937 Gernika bombing, we will hear some personal testimonies from the descendants of the 4000 Basque children who were evacuated to the UK during the Spanish Civil War.
