The autumn film series began on 5 November, featuring the film 'San Simón', directed by Miguel Ángel Delgado. Organised by the Culture Department, this initiative aims to bring various Galician-language films to the community. It complements the spring film cycle, Abril de Cine.
The second session of the autumn film series will take place on Thursday, 12 November, showcasing 'As liñas descontinuas', a drama produced in 2025. The film is suitable for viewers aged 12 and over and has a runtime of 90 minutes. Directed by Anxos Fazáns, the cast includes Mara Sánchez, Adam Prieto, Alberto Rolán, Ana Fórneas, Lidia Veiga, and Mónica García.
The plot follows Bea, who, on the day she is to leave the home she has lived in for the past twenty years, discovers the place in disarray and finds a thief asleep in her bed. The thief, Denís, is a 28-year-old transgender man who, despite having a degree, struggles with job insecurity and a lack of opportunities. After spending three days together, both characters must continue on their separate paths.
The third and final session of the cycle is scheduled for Friday, 20 November, featuring the documentary 'Ao son da nova regueifa', directed by Manolo Maseda and Saúl Rivas. This 60-minute documentary explores the connections between traditional regueifa and its contemporary expressions, delving into the revival and transformation of this form of oral improvisation in Galicia. The journey spans the country from north to south, introducing viewers to regueifeiras and regueifeiros who showcase the talent, creativity, and diversity that characterise modern regueifa.
Through passionate testimonies, improvised verses, and music, the documentary paints a multifaceted portrait of contemporary regueifa, an art form with deep roots and the potential to continue evolving.
