Description
Join us for a FREE screening of the fantastic multiple award-winning Even The Rain (2010), an incredible film within a film about what it means to really learn the lessons of history from one of Spain's most accomplished directors, Icíar Bollaín.
As a Spanish director and film crew shoot an unflinching film about Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas in Cochabamba, Bolivia, local people rise up against new plans to privatize the water supply, in what became known (in real life) as the Water Wars. Juxtaposing the impact of colonisers past and present, and the choices of art and artists, Even The Rain (2010), is a powerful depiction of when historical representation collides with reality.
Starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Luis Tosar, and written longtime Ken Loach screenwriter Paul Laverty, Even the Rain pulls no punches. This is must-see cinema.
Come for the film, stay for the conversation.
FREE entry, registration is essential.
