Cineclub announces fall films

The Spanish Department is pleased to announce the first round of dates for the Cineclub for Fall 2012. One of the main objectives of Cineclub is to provide an opportunity for the Saint Mary’s and Winona communities to enjoy some films from Spain and Latin America that may not typically be shown in local theaters.

In addition to viewing the films, participants will be invited to exchange ideas related to film and other forms of cultural expression of this kind. Also, the films included may serve as an additional opportunity or resource for students of the Hispanic language, literature, and culture.

All showings will all be held on Fridays at 3 p.m. in the World Room of the Hendrickson Center.

The first film, to be shown today, Oct. 19, is “El Aura (The Aura).” This 2005 film, from Argentina, was directed by Fabián Bielinsky. A deluded taxidermist plans the perfect crime in this crime/drama. It stars Ricarado Darín and has English subtitles.
