The Silence of Others / El silencio de otros
Friday June 7 to Thursday June 20
The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, who continue to seek justice to this day. Filmed over six years, the film follows victims and survivors as they organize the groundbreaking "Argentine Lawsuit" and fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity, in a country still divided after four decades of democracy.
96 min / Not Rated / Documentary Directed by Robert Bahar and Almudena Carracedo / USA | Spain | Canada | France 2018
In Spanish with subtitles
The Disenchanted / El Desencanto
Sunday June 16 and Wednesday June 19th.
Directed by Jaime Chávarri (who was influenced by Grey Gardens), El Desencanto is the fragmented story of the Paneros, a brilliant and tormented literary family whose eccentricities and taboo-smashing exhibitionism turned them into a phenomenon in Spain the year after Francisco Franco died. The film is a national classic, valued and remembered both for the role it played in the country's transition to democracy and for the Paneros' singular strangeness.
97 min / Not Rated / Featuring Felicidad Blanc, Juan Luis Panero, Leopoldo María Panero, Michi Panero / Documentary Directed by Jaime Chávarri / Spain 1976
