With help and support from my supervisor at Exeter Professor Sally Faulkner and funding from the DTP, I organised a day entitled The Child in Spanish and Latin American cinema. A lucky group of students from Exeter studying on undergraduate Spanish modules were taken on a field trip to the festival. My colleagues from Exeter Modern Languages Dr Nat\u00e1lia Pinazza, Dr Enrique del Rey and Professor Sally Faulkner offered fantastic introductions to the films.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sww-ahdtp.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190925_154331-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sww-ahdtp.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190925_154331-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sww-ahdtp.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190925_154331.jpg 691w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #333333;\">The screenings of\u00a0La mala educaci\u00f3n (Pedro Almod\u00f3var, 2004) and\u00a0Estiu 1993 (Carla Sim\u00f3n, 2017) and Linha de Passe (Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas, 2008) were well attended, and an audience of around 100 watched Carla Sim\u00f3n\u2019s Estiu 1993, which features visually stunning shots of the Catalan countryside. My colleagues and I also chaired Question-and-Answer discussions following the films. Lively discussions ensued about the various cinematic techniques that foregrounded the child\u2019s perspective in each of the films. Topics ranged from Almod\u00f3var\u2019s treatment of the child in Catholic, Franco-era Spain, to Sim\u00f3n\u2019s depiction of the child\u2019s experience of the AIDS crisis in 1990s Spain and Salles and Thomas\u2019 portrayal of class, race and the child\u2019s struggle in S\u00e3o Paulo. I\u2019d like to thank the Institut Ramon Llull and the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (Arts and Humanities Research Council) for supporting and sponsoring the day. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In order to disseminate my research outside of the university setting, I curated a day of film screenings at Chagford Film Festival on Wednesday 25 September 2019.
