Once again this year we celebrate Spanish Cinema Day by turning to our cinematographic heritage as an essential source to approach and through which to get to know our visual culture of the 20th century.
In the fifth edition of this celebration, we are going to screen Tasio, a film directed by Montxo Armendáriz, which portrays the decline of the tradition of charcoal burners in the mountains of Navarra (Spain). The screening will take place in the National Museum of Indian Cinema, Mumbai.
Undoubtedly, it is one of the films most remembered by lovers of Spanish cinema. It takes an exquisite and naturalistic approach to a world that seems to be fading away, abandoned, but in which its protagonist and his family resist the irruption of modernity and its different forms of coercion.
