2008 Spanish Film Festival in Sydney

April 30th 2008 03:07

This year's Spanish Film Festival comes to Sydney from the 7-19 of May, with a terrific roster of movies and events.

Opening Night is a fiesta with a screening of "Seven Billiards Tables", starring Maribel Verdu (pictured above), followed by tapas and live music from Watussi. Here's a little bit of Watussi:

Verdu is a familiar face in the English speaking world - after her role in "Pan's Labyrinth", she finally shrugged off the dirty looks from her lusty character in "Y Tu Mama Tambien". I know her from "Huevos de oro", one of the first movies I saw Javier Bardem in - and a movie that made me want to drop out of school to build massive, phallic skyscrapers. Luckily, the end of the movie turns you off all that.

The Festival has a few events, a tribute to Argentina, and a Mexican night, which means the Latin American fans will have something to gnaw on. The Mexican night promises to be a little fun, with a Latin house DJ spinning some dance-inspiring tracks. It's a festival with red blood coursing through the program, and I'm already inflicted.

Sounds fantastic, I've really missed seeing films regularly lately...things have just been too busy. But it's good to know what's out there, thanks Cib!

Ever since I went to Barcelona (and saw All About My Mother) I've been crazy about anything that comes out of Spain.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Amy, I've never been to this one, but it looks like a great couple of nights.

Tracy, I've missed a few great films, too. It's hard to keep up.

Pomo, All About My Mother is fannnntastic....
