Overview

The most electrifying new movies from Spain and Latin America will heat up Palace Cinemas around the country once again this autumn. The much-loved Spanish Film Festival will celebrate its eighteenth birthday in 2015, with the festival's most diverse and exciting lineup yet. From smash-hit romantic comedies to Oscar-nominated tales of revenge, there’s a film in this year’s program to suit every conceivable cinematic taste.

The festival begins with Spain’s biggest ever box-office success, the upbeat rom-com Spanish Affair. From there, audiences can choose between more than three dozen titles, including Goya Award-winning crime film Marshlands, Cannes-selected indie drama Beautiful Youth and the darkly comedic horror flick Shrew’s Nest.

Further highlights include a documentary about soccer superstar Lionel Messi, and a movie that brings Bollywood dance numbers to the streets of Barcelona. Closing night film Wild Tales is another major standout, combing six outrageous short stories about people who are driven to the edge — each one funnier and more twisted than the last.
