UCLA Latin American, Latinx, and Iberian Film Festival

05/05/2019

Though not part of the festival, here's another great Spanish film screening to be held at UCLA this week!

Please join us on Thursday, May 9, at 7:30pm in the fabulous Darren Star Screening Room (Melnitz 1422) for a special, one-night screening of Spanish director Jaime Chávarri's 1976 cult documentary, El desencanto (The Disenchantment)! The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Center for European and Russian Studies, and the Department of Film, Television, and Digital Media.

Aaron Shulman, author of the new book The Age of Disenchantments: The Epic Story of Spain's Most Notorious Literary Family and the Long Shadow of the Spanish Civil War (Ecco/Harper Collins, 2019), will introduce the film and join us for a post-screening discussion. A reception with hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will round out the event.

Seats are limited, so do be sure to mark it in your calendars and arrive early.
