The Galician Film Series in Oxford is an event jointly organized by The John Rutherford Centre for Galician (University of Oxford) and the Galician Film Forum (GFF)-London. The last screening will be offering a Documentary Session: “Os días afogados” -'The Drowned Days'- (2014), by César Souto Vilanova and Luis Avilés Baquero.

OS DÍAS AFOGADOS is a documentary film based on glances and silences. It tells the tragic story of Aceredo and Buscalque, two small villages located in the region of Ourense, Galicia, flooded after the construction of the Lindoso reservoir, in Portugal.

In 1989, three years before they were left submerged forever under the flood and knowing that they would never see the place where they were born again, some residents filmed the very last moments in their hometowns, which were doomed to disappear.

Screening: Galician with English subtitles
