The lineup for the London Spanish Film Festival (LSFF) 19th edition includes films from all corners of Spain. These will include new features, documentaries, international co-productions, shorts, and treasures from the archives.
The opening and closing nights are devoted to two films from Andalusia, Alberto Rodríguez’s, Prison 77 and Alejandro Marín’s, Love and Revolution.
As usual the films from the Basque Country and Catalonia will feature in their own sections celebrating the wealth of Spain’s cultural diversity.
The LSFF will also be welcoming several directors and actors, among them, actress Ana Wagener and director Alejandro Marín (Love and Revolution), Isabel Fernández (The Builders of the Alhambra), Jabi Elortegi (Dear Grandma), artist Suso33 (Walls Can Talk), Mario Hernández (Tregua(s)), Eloy Domínguez Serén (The Other Side of the Sea) and Eulàlia Ramón (Divine Accounts).
This year LSFF pays a tribute to director Bigas Luna, presenting three of his films Jamón, Jamón, Huevos de Oro and La Teta y La Luna. As part of this, the LSFF has partnered with Durham University’s Professor Santiago Fouz-Hernández to bring to London an essential part of their Bigas Luna Tribute. This is a small but very special exhibition which will be celebrated with Bigas Luna’s daughter, artist Betty Bigas, after the screening of Jamón, Jamón with cervezas and…jamón.
This year audiences will have the opportunity to see two films from the archives in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes: Jorge Semprún’s, The Two Memories on the 100th anniversary of his birth, and Embrujo, with the iconic Lola Flores, which will be preceded by a copla performance by Alejandro Postigo.
