thanking you all so much for the two very special nights we had at The Third Door and Alba Flamenca last Friday and Saturday, we are entering now the final week of our Spanish Film Festival. Yeah, you’re still on time to catch something!
THURSDAY 1st December, Block Three -Final session
To begin with, Block Three of the selection of the most important Spanish short films ’09 – ’10: Final Showcase.
Thursday, 1st December @ Inspace (1 Chricton Street, EH8 1AB, Edinburgh)
Doors open at 7:30pm.
Event starts at 8pm
5 pounds entry.
We come back to the best venue in Edinburgh to present what we believe is the top block of films -you will have the opportunity to watch the Oscar 2012 pre-selected and superb Vicenta, by Sam Ortí, included -.
To open up the night we will have the funky tunes of Mouthful of Grass. The photographer Mr Eoin Carey will make sure everything has been properly framed and to conclude the session the Akimbo Divine Dj’s will play the right tunes for the enjoyment of all of you.
Our three sponsors, Estrella Damm, Bar Rioja and El Olivo, will spoil you with an excellent selection of food and the best beer!
