The 19th edition of Spanish Cinema Now runs December 9 - 22, 2011 at Lincoln Center's
Walter Reade Theater in Manhattan, New York City.
Spanish Cinema Now is one of the Walter Reade Theater's longest-running series. Since the series premiered in 1992, Spanish cinema has grown not only in output but in influence, popularity, and in launching its own international, household-name stars such as Antonio Banderas, Carmen Maura, and Oscar winners Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
Spanish Cinema Now is presented by the Film Society in collaboration with the Spanish Film Institute (ICAA) in Madrid and the Instituto Cervantes in New York.
A special thanks also goes to the Spanish Consulate General in New York for its help in supporting the series over the years.
The series ranges from the latest features and documentaries to older films that straddle the years during and after Franco.
