Instituto Cervantes Manila’s PELÍCULA Manila Spanish Film Festival celebrates the first leg of its 14th year with an 11-day long film showing in Greenbelt 3 Cinemas. PELÍCULA is the “most important showcase of Spanish Cinema in the Southeast Asian region”, and rightly so, due to the varied genres of films it offers. This year’s PELÍCULA includes comedy, drama, thriller, animation, documentary, and short films not just from Spain but from Latin American countries like Argentina, Colombia and Mexico as well.
