New Ibero-American cinema. Inconvenient Realities

Instituto Cervantes has resumed its collaboration with the Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival, in collaboration with the Huelva City Council, with a program that presents the diversity and strength of films made in the Ibero-American continent. Spanish-language production in this vast region has a resounding reach at international festivals and fills theaters with auteur films from around the world.

The films that make up this cycle put their finger on the sore spot to force us to see how difficult it is to live and fulfill the dreams and ideals that people forge for themselves, even if these are only to be able to cope with the day to day. The tension and pain suffered by the protagonist of Miriam miente reveals how women are the first victims of social imbalances and new ways of relating. The work environment and its conflicts in the management of human resources is one of the themes of Planta permanente, a film that shows how labor conflicts have shifted towards more invisible spaces, but no less unfair.

The cycle is part of the program of the 11th edition of Cine Magnífico, a Latin film festival organized by the Instituto Cervantes Albuquerque.
