4th Annual Festival of New Spanish Cinema 2011

The energy of Almodovar. The risk-taking of Amenabar. The unadulterated exhilaration of Buñuel. The fourth annual Festival of New Spanish Cinema 2011, our biggest and riskiest yet, unveils the next generation of Spanish film legends. Featuring first-time filmmakers and established masters alike, the very best in contemporary Spanish cinema comes to Chicago. Join us for award-winning comedies, romances and dramatic masterpieces, and the special unveiling of a horror classic. Since we celebrate Spanish-style, we don’t stop with screenings alone: our tour includes Chicago premieres, parties, live music, visiting directors and actors, and live online interviews with filmmakers that offer you a direct line to Spain.
