Hispanic Film Festival: Chinas

Nominated for four Goya® Awards, this drama with comedic touches offers a nuanced exploration of the dual identity experienced by young Chinese communities in Spain. The film boldly challenges European paternalism and the racism faced by the Chinese community across various countries.

The 2026 Hispanic Film Festival, possible thanks to the Spanish Film Club Grant from Pragda and the Spanish Ministry of Culture, brings together seven highly awarded films from Spain, Panama-Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala. These films serve as vehicles for timely discussions that, although situated in Latin America and the Iberic Peninsula, extend to realities experienced beyond these geographies. Additionally, their cinematographic relevance and media/medium experimentation promote urgent discussions of creativity, mediation, and technological innovation. As a whole, this festival seeks to promote general themes of interrogating existing power structures and promoting an alternative lens through which to view hegemonic inequities. 

Organized by Revista de Estudios Hispánicos in partnership with the Latin American Studies Program and the Romance Languages and Literatures Department.
