In August, the Center continues its partnership with Instituto Cervantes to present films in the organization’s current Espacio femenino series. Instituto Cervantes has offered this series since 2010, presenting contemporary work by women filmmakers and focusing on women’s concerns and issues.
A palabra xusta is a game invented by a teacher for her students, in which each child writes, in one word, what s/he has learned in that day’s class. The answers are put on the board, and everyone chooses the best—the right word. In Miguel Piñeiro’s documentary, 92-year-old Antía “Tita” Cal Vázquez, who founded the Rosalía de Castro School in Vigo in 1961, engages in a conversation with her cherished photographs and her memories. In a house where time seems to have stopped, on a journey that crosses the boundaries of time and space, she searches for the right words to tell us about her childhood, her vocation, the great love of her life—everything that shaped her as a woman and an educator. Presented in partnership with Instituto Cervantes as part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.
