Pop Up Cinematheque: The Spanish Earth

The Cinema Studies Institute and Media Commons Archives present Pop Up Cinematheque, a new 16mm screening series highlighting rare gems from the collections. Each screening features an introductory talk discussing the unique aspects of the film and its archival status. 

The Spanish Earth is a 1937 anti-fascist film made during the Spanish Civil War in support of the democratically elected Republicans. The film was directed by Joris Ivens, written by John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway, narrated by Orson Welles and re-recorded by Hemingway (with Jean Renoir doing the narration in the French release).

Programmer and CSI sessional instructor, Diana Sanchez will give the introductory talk. 

Admission is free but registration is required because Robarts Library is not open to the general public. Reserve your spot online.
