50th Anniversary of the Valladolid International Film Festival:
Fifty Years Celebrating Spanish Cinema
 July 27-29, 2005
For the past fifty years, the Valladolid International Film Festival, Spain's premier film festival, has been a major force behind the re-emergence of Spanish cinema worldwide. Since its creation, the festival has excelled in its innovative programming and courageous spirit, fighting state censorship under particularly adverse political and historical contexts, and now becoming one of the world's most prestigious film festivals.
As a special presentation of the New York International Latino Film Festival, The Valladolid International Film Festival is bringing its 50th Anniversary celebrations to New York City, by presenting a special series of five recent award-winning films including Cannes Film Festival's Fipresci Award winner LAS HORAS DEL DIA (The Hours of the Day) and two-time Goya Award winner LA CAJA 507 (Box 50). All films will be shown in Spanish with English subtitles at Tribeca Cinemas. Come celebrate with us the vitality of Spanish cinema!
