About this Event

🎥 To mark Spanish Cinema Day, celebrated annually on October 6th, we are delighted to screen the Spanish documentary El Desencanto (1976), directed by Jaime Chávarri.

El Desencanto (1976)

🎞️El Desencanto, is a landmark Spanish documentary directed by Jaime Chávarri. The documentary functions less as a traditional biography and more as a raw, unsettling family autopsy. The film centers on the family of Leopoldo Panero, the official poet of Franco's regime, who died in 1962. Fourteen years later, his widow Felicidad Blanc and their three sons, sit before the camera to remember him. What begins as a tribute quickly unravels into a bitter, often cruel, reckoning with their shared past.

🎥 Don't miss this incredible movie, as it demonstrates that repressed truth demands an outlet, however sometimes painful.

🍿 Everyone is welcome, but those learning Spanish will benefit the most from this screening.
