This year’s Spanish Film Festival program exclusive to Palace Cinemas around Australia boasts 38 features from across Spain, Latin-America, and beyond, as varied as the ceramic tiles on a Gaudi masterpiece. The Festival will open with Emilio Martínez-Lázaro’s SPANISH AFFAIR, which was seen by over two million people in the fortnight following its release in Spain. This comedic tale mischievously pokes fun at cultural differences as it tracks a young southerner who tenaciously seeks to win the heart of a Basque girl, making it a very Spanish affair indeed. Starring popular stand-up comic and presenter Dani Rovira, and the charming Clara Lago, SPANISH AFFAIR fast became a must-see in Spain and will be a sure-fire crowd pleaser at the 2015 Spanish Film Festival.

Special fiestas to look out for include quirky black comedy THEY ARE ALL DEAD, starring Elena Anaya followed up after party; and a live tango performance will help everyone find their rhythm before the Argentinian TANGO GLORIES, which explores the nostalgic memories of 85-year-old tango veteran Fermín Turdero, who expresses himself through the lyrics of tango songs.
