All About Spanish Cinema and a Bit More

The Instituto Cervantes Manchester and Leeds begin the seventh edition of the Hispanglia series, coordinated by Professor Duncan Wheeler (University of Leeds), with the conversation "All About Spanish Cinema and a Bit More" featuring Professor María Delgado. The discussion will cover changes in Spanish cinema in the context of a broader cultural landscape, as well as topics like interpretation, direction, and the links between theatre and film.
