Spanish Cinema Day: Tasio

One more year, we celebrate Spanish Cinema Day by turning to our cinematic heritage as an essential source through which to explore and understand our visual culture of the 20th century.

In the fifth edition of this celebration, we will be screening 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. It approaches a fading world with exquisite naturalism—a world seemingly being left behind, yet one in which the protagonist and his family resist the onset of modernity and its various forms of coercion.
