Celebrating the New Wave of Ibero-American Cinema

Posted on January 21, 2016 by Silvia P. Dias

Starting January 13, 2016, Dartmouth will host an Ibero-American film festival on six consecutive Wednesday nights. Thanks to the generosity of the Spanish & Portuguese, Film and Media Studies and Environmental Studies departments, the festival will bring new Spanish and Portuguese-language feature films and documentaries to campus, complementing a diversity of curricular activities. Documentaries about the Amazon, the US/Mexico border, and the ETA conflict in Spain, in addition to feature films from Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela, will draw students from Spanish & Portuguese, Film & Media Studies, Latin American, Latino/a & Caribbean Studies, Women's & Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, and Earth Sciences. The festival will also be widely advertised in order to attract attendees from outside of the Dartmouth community. This festival was also made possible with the support of Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.
