Approaching the canon – always questionable- that makes up the classics of Spanish cinema is a good opportunity to recognise the films that connected with the public of its time - a cinema that made a bid to understand the context and do so through films that are on their way to soon becoming iconic.
The Instituto Cervantes is pleased therefore to present this new programme of online screenings, and has come up with this series for its network of internationally located centres.
The titles of the programme will be screened through the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel and will feature a short presentation by members of the Spanish Film Academy, co-organiser of the activity.
The selected films are part of the AECID Film Library (Spanish Agency for Cooperation and Development) catalogue and will be shown with subtitles in English and Portuguese (from Brazil) in the first stage of the programme, which corresponds to the films collectively called "black and white".
