Programme Launch: OJOS NEGROS + Q&A Ivet Castelo

CinemaAtticis the platform for Spanish, Iberian and Latin-American cinema in Scotland. Our main purpose is to bridge the expressive quality of young filmmakers from national cinemas such as Spanish, Latin-American or Portuguese with the wealthiness of British organisations. Since 2008, CinemaAttic has produced and organised six different film and arts festivals across Scotland, collaborating with key venues and institutions to engage the public and raise the profile of Spanish film in Scotland. A Community Interest Company registrered in Scotland, at present CinemaAttic runs two regular short film nights in the city of Edinburgh and is working towards becoming a keystone company in the distribution of Spanish, Iberian and Latin-American cinema in Scotland and the UK and a platform for entertainment, learning, cultural diffusion, networking and industry development through arts and cinema

OJOS NEGROSDirector: Ivet Castelo, Marta LallanaInfo: - 2018 - 65 min. - Spanish with English subtitlesEvent details:"The theme of childhood in rural Spain has given the country some of its finest movies, including Victor Erice’s The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) and more recently Carla Simon’s 2017 critically garlanded pic Summer 1993. Marta Lallana and Ivet Castelo’s coming-of-ager debut delivers, during its short length, some really magical moments." (Hollywood Reporter)Synopsis: Paula is a fourteen-year-old girl who has difficulty relating to her friends and family. When summer comes, she travels alone to Ojos Negros, the village where her mother grew up and where her family still lives. The distant character of her aunt and the illness of her grandmother create a suffocating climate in the house. It is then that she meets Alicia, who is outgoing and spontaneous. The end of this first friendship and the witnessing of her grandmother's death will make her see what growing up really means.“This film has merits and virtues enough to compete with the very best of new Spanish cinema. Spanish cinema can rejoice in the discovery of two young female directors worth keeping a very close eye on.” (Cineuropa)DIRECTORS TALK - IVET CASTELOWe are extremely proud to welcome director Ivet Castelo to join us in person for this event.Ivet Castelo (1995, Vic).
