Av Festival 12: Honor Of The Knights + Intro From Film Lecturer

Serra’s striking, controversial adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote, is a revelatory portrait of the relationship between the frail Quixote and his stout loyal scribe Sancho.

Viva La Muerte

An extremely rare chance to see a print of a masterpiece of its type. Fernando Arrabal, was co-founder of the Panic Movement with Alejandro Jodorowski and this film owes much to that style. However where his more famous collaborator's work is unapologetically trippy, Arrabal's films and plays use the same chaotic and extreme language to serve a social conscience of sorts.

Av Festival 12: Finisterrae + Skype Q&A W. Director!

Two Russian-speaking ghosts leave the Sonar Music Festival, along the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela then on to Finisterre: the end of the world, to seek rebirth.
