Día del Cine Español: Tasio (Online)

Once again, we celebrate Spanish Cinema Day by turning to our film heritage as an essential source through which to explore and understand our 20th-century visual culture.

For the fifth edition of this celebration, we will screen Tasio, a film directed by Montxo Armendáriz, which portrays the decline of the traditional charcoal burners in the mountains of Navarre, Spain.

Undoubtedly, it is one of the most memorable films for lovers of Spanish cinema. With an exquisite and naturalistic approach, it depicts a world that seems to be fading away and abandoned, yet one in which the protagonist and his family resist the arrival of modernity and its various forms of coercion.
