We are Brit Es are delighted to announce our very first event: CORTOMETRAJES — 7 Short films, a screening which will take place on 16 September from 7pm. The event has been set up to put the spotlight on Brit Es talent and creativity — a concept that encompasses people, projects, trends and proposals which emerge in the United Kingdom, but with a Spanish character or origin which are also influenced by British culture.
Filmmaker Isabel Coixet will present her film ‘Learning to Drive’ on Sunday 27 September at Regent Street Cinema in Central London at London Spanish Film Festival. The screening will be preceded by a unique on-stage conversation between her and Prof. María Delgado (Queen Mary University).

Exhibition: Gala Knörr: WTF at Total Refreshment Centre
Curated by Antoni Ferrer
The Total Refreshment Centre presents new body of work by the London based artist Gala Knörr for her first solo exhibition in the UK. The old Edwardian building that was once a sugar factory then a Jamaican social club has since 2012 been the home for producers, musicians and artists to promote their creative endeavors. Regularly opening its doors to creative entities for new collaborations, be it in the form of recordings, film, concerts or exhibition, the Total Refreshment Centre has always pushed the art it stands for.
Brit Es Magazine was invited to chat with Curtis Harding. We sent Guido Benedicto, our man in Benicàssim, to sit down and get to know Mr. Harding’s soul, and to discuss music, art and fashion.
A glimpse into Cinema from Catalonia and Basque Country at 11th London Spanish Film Festival. Next September.
