Screening the Child: Spanish Film Club

In partnership with Pragda Spanish Film Club and the Modern Languages departments of Cardiff University and the University of Exeter, we are delighted to share with you this series of film screenings and discussions titled ‘Screening the Child: the Child’s Gaze in Spanish Language Cinema.’ Curated by Rachel Beaney, Ph.D. student in Hispanic Studies, this festival brings together five films that feature a child protagonist. In the films presented, the child character experiences political, social, and cultural change. The filmmakers foreground the perspective of the child character to present and reframe historical events, family dynamics, and societal transformations. Each film will be available to watch for one week and this will be supported with by a Q&A Zoom discussion on selected films with academics and cinephiles. With thanks also to the support of the AHRC SWW DTP.
