Come see
La Novia on April 19 at 7 pm, a film based on Federico García Lorca's play
Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding). Set in Spain in the early decades of the 20th century,
La Novia is the story of a multi-family, multi-generational blood feud that is about to be settled by a wedding uniting two of the families until an ill-starred love triangle precipitates an impetuous act, and sets into motion a chain of events that will have devastating consequences. On April 26, come see
Riot Girls: Españolas en Corto, which includes four short films curated by the online magazine
Cortosfera.es that demonstrate the growing importance of female directors in this genre. Both films are from Instituto Cervantes'
Espacio femenino series and are part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.
