Costa da morte — Coast of Death — by Lois Patiño (2013) is the third screening of the Galician Film Series in Oxford, jointly organized by The John Rutherford Centre for Galician (University of Oxford) and the Galician Film Forum (GFF)-London.
The film title refers to a region in Galicia (Spain), which was thought to be the end of the world during the Roman period. Its dramatic name comes from the numerous shipwrecks that occurred throughout history in this rocky, misty, and stormy area.
Director Lois Patiño was born in Vigo (Galicia, Spain) in 1983, and Costa da Morte is his first feature film, for which he was awarded the Best Newcomer prize at the Locarno Film Festival 2013.
The showing will take place at the Main Hall of the Taylorian Institution on Thursday, February 15th, 2018 from 5.15 pm. This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please, register using this link.
