The Hispanic Film Club at Manchester Central Library: exploring the vibrance of Hispanic Cinema.
The Manchester Central Library and the Instituto Cervantes of Manchester proudly present the Hispanic Film Club , beginning with a series that celebrates the richness of Hispanic cinema by showcasing stories of resilience, identity, and humanity. From Pedro Almodóvar’s acclaimed All About My Mother to the imaginative Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles , these films present profound narratives. Iciar Bollain’s Yuli offers a moving biopic of a Cuban ballet star, while Javier Fesser’s Campeones delights with its heartwarming humour. Aluda Ruiz de Azúa’s Lullaby examines family bonds with emotional depth, and Damian Szifron’s Wild Tales provides a darkly comedic exploration of human nature.
Join us for this cinematic journey through the voices and visions of contemporary Hispanic filmmakers!
Third screening: Yuli by Icíar Bollaín
Synopsis :
A chronicle of the life and career of the first black guest dancer in London for the Royal Ballet - Carlos Acosta, nicknamed Yuli. As a child Yuli avoids discipline and education, learning from the streets of an impoverished and abandoned Havana. His father, however, has other ideas, and knowing that his son has a natural talent for dance, sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba.
