4th Spanish Film Festival


Tonight we have been invited to the opening of the 4th Spanish Film Festival of Singapore, that will be showing movies for all the Singaporean Spanish film fans from the 13th of February to the 24th of February 2009. The title of this year's festival is SEVEN. 7 movies will be shown, 7 different moods, 7 dreams, 7 loves...

There will be a special screening of movies by the outstanding Spanish director Luis García Berlanga: Bienvenido Mister Marshall (Welcome Mister Marshall), Todos a la carcel (Everyone to Jail) y El Verdugo (Not on your life). The other movies shown will be Mataharis by Icíar Bollaín, El séptimo día (The Seventh Day) by Carlos Saura, Planta 4ª (4th Floor) by Antonio Mercero and Los amantes del Círculo Polar (Lovers of the Arctic Circle ) by Julio Medem. As it is said in the brochure, "the 4th Spanish Film Festival will provide Singaporeans a new opportunity to be acquainted with the Spanish cinema and culture."

The venue of the Festival will be the Screening Room of The Arts House in 1 Old Parliament Lane (map here). The tickets are free, but they need to be reserved. If you already have a reservation, just go to the ticket office of The Arts House 30 minutes before the movie starts and get your tickets.

We want to thank the Embassy of Spain for the special effort they put on this Festival and for inviting us. The Festival is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation through the Agency of International Cooperation.
