London Spanish Film Festival’s 5th Spring Weekend its here! Save the dates!

by Brit Es Magazine April 8, 2015

This year, the LSFF’s 5th Spring Weekend brings to London audiences two very special previews of films that will be released later in the year: ‘El Niño’, directed by Daniel Monzón (Cell 211), an enthralling drug-trafficking action film based on real events and set in the Straits of Gibraltar, and the noirish thriller ‘La isla mínima’, directed by Alberto Rodríguez, which won nine Awards at the Goyas 2015. Also we have the opportunity to watch on a big screen ‘Todos están muertos’, by Beatriz Sanchí, with acclaimed actress Elena Anaya, who was nominated for Best Actress at the Goyas 2015. Jorge Torregrossa’s ‘La vida inesperada’, a film led hand in hand by Javier Cámara and Raúl Arévalo with a script by renowned writer and journalist Elvira Lindo and Carlos Marqués-Marcet’s ‘10,000 Km’, which took home five awards in last year’s Málaga Film Festival.

Five Spanish films for the discerning British viewer.

by Brit Es Magazine February 20, 2015

The following list is not a top 5, but merely a list of five Spanish films, in no particular order, which British viewers might not be familiar with. You may have noticed that I have left out filmmakers such as Almodóvar and Amenábar, and films such as El Orfanato and Mar Adentro. This was done deliberately, since those directors and films are already quite well known by the average film goer. So, on to the list!

Leonor Watling, Our Most “Brit Es” Actress

by Brit Es Magazine December 7, 2014

Leonor Watling, the Spanish actress and singer (who has an English mother and a Spanish father) is without a doubt one of our most multitalented and driven actresses, creatively speaking. She jumps from one discipline to another as naturally as she does between her two mother tongues. Not only does she sing in the band Marlango, she has also brought us such characters as Elvira in “My Mother Likes Women” and that neighbour who S. Polley chooses to replace her after her death in Isabel Coixet’s moving “My Life Without Me”.

“La Gran Familia Española” at London Spanish Film Festival

by Brit Es Magazine September 29, 2014

La Gran Familia Española (Family United) tries really hard to please everyone. With its pastel and gold palette, handsome cast in suspenders and Converse, a painful wedding entrance music montage to the sound of Calvin Harris’ Feel So Close and, of course, the backdrop of the almighty Spanish national team beating Holland at the South Africa 2010 World Cup Final, the film is really desperate to have in its poster one of those laurel encircled quotes saying something like “…feel-good movie of the year!”.

Ananke, or Destiny

by Victoria Perelló August 15, 2014

They met in London. Perhaps in Spain it would not have been possible. But they felt the sort of connection that is only possible when you are removed from the familiar and open yourself up to the world.

“Coast of Death” (Costa da Morte) in Edinburgh

by Ana G. Chouciño March 3, 2014

I spent last week in the Highlands. Our first stop was Mull; the island, inhospitable, even in the middle of August, it only has one way roads. This way the voyage turns into a slow pilgrimage, in which we must stop every few minutes to yield the way, every time we do so, we say hello to the drivers we come across, remembering those old habits we used to have when the conversation with other walkers was part of the journey. That greeting is a sign that life here flows slowly, that it has come to a halt in a moment that we will never belong to.
