The first Spanish Film festival is going to takes place in Hyderabad from 20th March. MOVING IMAGES is organizing event in association with TEAMWORKS PRODUCTIONS. Six films are to be screened over the weekend at Prasads Multiplex.

Aparajita Sinha, Author and founder of Moving Images said: “The three-day cultural festival will also allow experts to sample authentic Spanish cuisine, at the Taj Deccan Hotel, who is a partner for the programme. The screenings have been scheduled at Prasads IMAX theatre from March 20- 22. Five films, selected by the Spanish embassy will be screened, which will include two directorial debuts as well. There is a press conference on 19th March to meet the Spanish delegation coming for the festival.

There are two events - the curtain raiser to the festival on 19th March at Taj Deccan and then the Festival opening at Prasads Multiplex on 20th March”.

In addition to watching the film alone, filmgoers will get a chance to mingle with directors of four of the five films scheduled for screening. Malena Alterio, actress of the second film in the series, ‘Suso’s Tower’, will also be present at the festival.

Film festivals in the City will now be cast with a country- specific focus. Audiences will be able to connect with the films, owing to the cultural similarities between the two countries.
