The Spanish Film Festival have announced their 2016 program featuring 32 films and a session of shorts, opening in Melbourne this April. This year’s festival will open with a dose of hilarity, Spanish Affair 2, the sequel to last year’s opening night film. Then after indulging in almost three weeks of film from Spain, Argentina, Chile and Mexico, the festival will close with Ciro Guerra’s cinematic odyssey through the Amazon, Embrace Of The Serpent.

 

Award winning director Daniel Guzman will be in attendance to present his first long feature, the autobiographical project Nothing In Return. Soccer fans will be treated to a special screening of Barca Dreams, detailing the history of one of the most popular and admired football clubs, FC Barcelona. The film features interviews with Lionel Messi, Pep Guardiola and Johan Cruyff.

 

Feature selections includes Mexican award-winner The Thin Yellow Line, about the journey of five men who become unlikely friends, Chilean drama Much Ado About Nothing straight from the Sundance and Berlinale Film Festivals, and Eva Doesn’t Sleep, an Argentinian film which tells the tale of Eva Perón and the political revolution.
