The Instituto Cervantes in Manchester, in collaboration with the <a href="https://edinburghspanishfilmfestival.com/" title="https://edinburghspanishfilmfestival.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival</a>, is hosting a new session dedicated to promoting Spanish language through cinema, featuring the screening of Almudena [The Writer: Almudena Grandes] by Azucena Rodríguez. Synopsis:In this posthumous documentary, we discover the vivacious vision of the late Almudena Grandes, a Spanish fiction-writer who read, wrote and loved on both sides of the Atlantic. Through the lens of Almudena herself, or others such as her husband Luis, this intimate portrait of this complex writer not only illuminates her worldview and various opinions on life and writing, but keeps her memory alive and celebrates her work, experiences, and spirit. The film, a mixture of conversations, testimonies, and unedited footage, ranging from domestic scenes to local festivities and summer dinners outside, the documentary takes on the tremendous task of holistically capturing a life as accurately as possible.

Sinopsis:En este documental póstumo, descubrimos la vivaz visión de Almudena Grandes, escritora de ficción española que leía, escribía y amaba a ambos lados del Atlántico. A través de ella misma, y el de otras personas, como Luis, su marido, este retrato íntimo no sólo ilumina su visión del mundo y sus diversas opiniones sobre la vida y la escritura, sino que mantiene viva su memoria y celebra su espíritu, sus experiencias y su obra. La película, una mezcla de conversaciones, testimonios y archivos inéditos, que van desde escenas domésticas a fiestas locales o cenas de verano al aire libre, asume la tremenda tarea de captar holísticamente una vida con la mayor precisión posible.
