Spanish Cultural Event - Film and Panel Discussion


The World Languages and Cultures Department cordially invites you to attend a cultural event that focuses on the traditional differences between the Basque and Andalusian regions of Northern and Southern Spain, respectively. The main portion of the event will be the screening of the film Spanish Affair (Spain, 2014), followed by a panel discussion and presentation led by Dr. Joaquín Gómez, Spanish Professor at SUNY Geneseo, and Mr. Unai Antón, US Local Service Manager at Ibermatica. Both guest speakers are from Spain, and were raised in the two regions portrayed in the film.

Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Location: Room 5-323
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM

Film Synopsis: Rafael, a Seville citizen who has never left the Spanish region of Andalucía, decides to leave his homeland to follow Amaia, a Basque girl unlike any other woman he has known.

Spanish Affair (original title Ocho apellidos vascos) is the highest grossing Spanish film in Spanish box office history. It’s in Spanish with English subtitles, and its duration is approximately 100 minutes. This enjoyable Spanish comedy has humor and satire, well-known and engaging actors, entertaining situations and lots of fun.

We hope to see you there.
