Spanish Cinema

This year, the Carthage Film Festival is dedicating a space to Spanish cinema—a cinema shaped by memory and by the silent bonds that unite people.

Through this selection, we discover a multifaceted Spain:

The Spain of villages where time lingers,

The Spain of families reinventing themselves around a home that has become too heavy to bear,

The Spain of territories marked by social divides,

and finally, the Spain where the intimate becomes a place of resistance.

In Jaime Rosales' *Morlaix*, silence becomes a language that reveals the invisible and the unease of everyday life.

With *Romería*, Carla Simón continues her delicate exploration of memory and roots, where heritage is passed down through gestures and glances.

*La Casa* by Alex Montoya asks what we keep, what we leave behind, and what our homes say about us.

In *El 47*, Marcel Barrena weaves a narrative where social reality emerges as living, urgent, and profoundly human material.

Finally, *Deaf* by Era Libertad shatters our assumptions by revealing another way of listening to the world.

The perspective on Spanish cinema offered by the JCC is a vibrant journey through a cinema that illuminates humanity at the heart of its fragilities.
