A GUN IN EACH HAND (UNA PISTOLA EN CADA MANO), 2012, 95 min.
Dir. Cesc Gay.
One of the wittiest recent Spanish comedies, this film takes a hilarious look at eight Spanish men entering their 40s and confronting various midlife crises (one husband suspects his wife is cheating on him, while another seeks reconciliation with his ex-wife). You can't help but love these good-hearted and friendly fellows as they lay their lives bare; though there are many twists in their stories, there are also amusing flashes of familiarity to their situations. The incredible cast includes Jordi Molla, Javier Camara, Eduardo Noriega and Goya Award Winner Candela Peña.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

COMBUSTION (COMBUSTION), 2013, 99 min.
Dir. Daniel Calparsoro.
Just as he's gotten engaged to girlfriend Julia (María Castro), Mikel (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actor Álex González) meets Ari (Adriana Ugarte) at a party. Ari is fascinating, beautiful, passionate ... and up to her neck in illegal car racing. But that's not the only curve she introduces; when Ari's boyfriend cooks up a plan to rob Julia's business, Mikel has to choose between an exciting new life with Ari and his love for Julia. COMBUSTION practically explodes with speed and nervous energy, while dodging the usual Hollywood blockbuster cliches, as drama and psychological tension mount with each scene.

THE BODY (EL CUERPO), 2012, Outsider Pictures, 125 min.
Dir. Oriol Paulo.
A heady mix of classic noir, blood-chilling horror and high suspense, THE BODY is a thriller following a detective (José Coronado) who searches for a corpse that has gone missing from a morgue.  With Spanish star Hugo Silva. A Goya Award nominee for Best New Director, Paolo proves to be a master storyteller with this absorbing plot, which keeps viewers guessing about both the strange circumstances surrounding the victim's death and the reasons her body has disappeared. "...the kind of breathless, relentless genre fare whose sole aim is to generate suspense, and it pretty much succeeds." - Jonathan Holland, Variety.

CLOSING NIGHT CONCERT WITH JUAN PERRO

Few artists in the Spanish rock arena truly deserve the title of living legend. One of them is Santiago Auserón, better known as Juan Perro.

The former leader of one of Spain's greatest rock bands of all time, Radio Futura, Juan Perro is widely regarded as a genre pioneer, both sides of the Atlantic, extremely influential during the '80s for the emerging latin rock scene.

Since his solo debut in 1993, Juan Perro has embarked on a musical voyage of exploration, experimenting with a wide palette of genres outside of the standard rock-en-español realm. Cuban son, soul, jazz and blues became the framework for Auserón's delightful current work.
