«Arredor de si», a panorama of current Galician cinema
Curated by Galician producer Beli Martínez, we present a selection of five recent Galician short films introduced by the curator. A panorama through documentary, animation and fiction, which portrays a Galicia between tradition and modernity, which questions its identity and relates to the world beyond the periphery. Q&A with curator Beli Martínez after the screenings.
