This Thursday, March 15th, 2018 we present the fourth screening of the Galician Film Series in Oxford, jointly organised by The John Rutherford Centre for Galician (University of Oxford) and the Galician Film Forum (GFF)-London. This installment in the series is dedicated to short films:
- Curricán, Álvaro Gago
Xan Curricán guides us through the streets of Vilanova de Arousa, a village full of picturesque portraits and endless epiphanies.
- Rueda Cabeza, Borja Santomé
A walk along those rain-streaked streets that surround us, those streets that speak to us of fun, of death, of sex and of tears.
- Galicia, Portobello Road, Adriana Páramo
When Celtia finds out that her mother is going to close the restaurant she runs in London to go back to Galicia after 30 years, she tries to convince her to stay.
- Día 13 de Julio y 12 de Agosto, Xisela Franco
Two days filmed by the artist in July 2014. With two Super8 rolls, she tells us how she celebrated her birthday with her partner and friends.
- Pettring, Eloy D. Serén
A young Galician director takes a diary of his first months as an immigrant in Sweden where he works in construction. The construction of his work as a director is a metaphor that reflects the identity he is building as an emigrant.
The showings will take place at the Main Hall of the Taylorian Institution from 5.15 pm. This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please, register using this link.
