Mark the end of the 21st SPANISH FILM FESTIVAL AND CELEBRATE THE
REMARKABLE CINEMATIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF ACADEMY AWARD WINNER GUILLERMO
DEL TORO.Join us at Cinema Paradiso from 6.45pm on Wednesday, 16 May
for a glass of Torres wine on arrival before the 7pm screening of his
classic PAN'S LABYRINTH.
The visionary Mexican director recently took home four Academy Awards
including Best Film and Best Director with a further nine nominations
for his whimsical and spellbinding underwater romance The Shape of
Water. To celebrate this incredible achievement, we’re bringing his
beloved dark fairy-tale (and fantasy classic) Pan’s Labyrinth back
to the big screen to close our 21st festival.
In 1944 Spain, following a bloody Civil War, young Ofelia travels to
the north with her pregnant mother to live at the command post of her
new stepfather, Captain Vidal, a sadistic man hell-bent on ridding the
countryside of rebel forces. When Ofelia discovers a magical labyrinth
under the ground, she flees into it, seeking refuge from the terrors
of the conflict. But the subterranean world turns out to harbour its
own kind of threats. Here she encounters all manner of creatures,
benevolent and otherwise, including a grotesque faun who gives her
three dangerous tasks to complete. And so Ofelia undertakes a quest to
claim her crown as princess of this realm. (Spanish with English
subtitles).
