Celebrate Spain 2024
Members of the DIFF Dallas International Film Festival team were on hand at Meadows Museum last night for Celebrate Spain 2024 and to preview an exciting new series. SPANISH CINEMA NOW+ presents a showcase of films that reflects the breadth of styles and talents at work in Spain today, including both established auteurs and emerging filmmakers from the international festival scene. After its spring presentation in Washington, DC, the Meadows Museum will bring these films to Texas this summer thanks to a partnership with the Embassy of Spain and Dallas Film.
The first SPANISH CINEMA NOW+ DALLAS screening is May 23 with the filmmaker in attendance:

On May 23 we present Journey to Somewhere / Viaje a alguna parte (2021), written and directed by Helena de Llanos. After inheriting the Madrid home of her grandparents, two highly celebrated Spanish actors, filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights (Emma Cohen and Fernando Fernán Gómez), Helena de Llanos relies on the help of their spirits to face her memories and responsibilities. Journey to Somewhere won the Premio Rizoma award for Contemporary Surrealism in 2022.
Screening followed by an in-person conversation with the filmmaker.
