Instituto Cervantes: »Iberoamerikanische und karibische Filmwoche«

In the organizer's words:

The Instituto Cervantes is presenting China's film as part of this year's "Ibero-American and Caribbean Film Week" as part of the "Latin American and Caribbean Autumn Festival". It is one of a total of eight films that will be shown at the 3001 Cinema from November 7 to 13.

The Spanish film Chinas by director Arantxa Echevarría (11.11., 7 pm) tells an impressive story about the life of the Chinese community in Spain. It focuses on three families who live in Madrid. It is a film about identity, belonging and growing up between two cultures. Director Arantxa Echevarría describes her film as "a story about identity and belonging within the Chinese community living in our country". According to Echevarría, young people in particular are caught between integration and self-discovery: "In adolescence, we want to belong - especially when we are particularly vulnerable," she explains. "This second generation of immigrants is in a very complex situation: they feel Spanish and at the same time part of a completely different culture."

The festival program once again combines award-winning productions with new cinematic discoveries, bold in theme, original in form, linked by a common language and similar stories.

A total of eight films from Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Uruguay and Panama will be shown. In addition to China's , audiences can look forward to the comedies Donaire y Esplendor (13.11., 7 pm) and Para mi ex (12.11., 7 pm), the biopic Salgueiro Maia - Der Beteiligte (10.11.(10.11., 7pm) about a central figure of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution, as well as the documentary El gigante dormido / The Sleeping Giant (9.11., 7pm) about two former FARC commanders who are looking for a way back into Colombian society after decades of armed conflict.

The cinema week opens on November 7 at 7 pm with the multi-award-winning debut film Milonga by Laura González. It tells the story of Rosa, who still lives according to the rules of her deceased husband until she meets Juan, a passionate tango dancer with whom she embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

The complete program can be found on the websites of the Instituto Cervantes and the 3001 Cinema.
