Contemporary Spanish films to be shown for free in Iloilo City
 ‘No sé decir adios’ is one of the four contemporary films to be shown  at the FDCP Cinematheque Centre in Iloilo City.

The firm cycle opens at 6:00 p.m. tomorrow with No sé decir adios (2017) directed by Lino Escalera. In the film, Clara receives a call from her father, with whom she has not spoken for a long time. He is suffering from a terminal illness, which Clara refuses to accept. Against everyone’s advice, she takes her father to be treated, both escaping the reality which neither can accept. 

Elena Martín’s Julia Ist (2017) will be screened tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. The film tells the story of Julia, whose future had been very clear until she joined the Erasmus program in Berlin where she was completely alone. She realized that she did not know herself that well nor did she know what she wanted to do with her life. 

The documentary Saura(s) (2017) by Félix Viscarret will be shown on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. It features filmmaker and writer Carlos Saura through his conversations with his seven children. 

The film cycle will close on Friday at 4:00 p.m. with the drama María y los demás (2016). In the film, María has been taking care of her family ever since her mother died. She is responsible yet controlling, and when her father falls in love with his nurse and announces his engagement to her, María feels as though her life is falling apart.
