About this Event
We regularly screen amazing Spanish or Latin American films (with English subtitles, no worries!) in one of our performance studios. You can combine this with a delicious drink or two or tapas in our very own Spanish wine bar, La Bodega (please note tapas is available for Thursday film nights only).
Watching a movie in Spanish is a fantastic way to listen to, and unconsciously absorb, authentic language. Our programme of curated movies from across the Spanish-speaking world helps to understand more about the unique cultures, histories and landscapes of this vast region.
About this week's film:
La Historia Oficial ('The Official Story')

"Cogently written and beautifully acted, "The Official Story" [...] takes us to the place where politics meets the human heart" - The New York Times
Winner of an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, The Official Story is a compelling portrait of the life of a history professor and her awakening to the evils perpetrated by her country's government.
