02 28 October to 1 November 2020
The sixth edition of the Amsterdam Spanish Film Festival (ASFF), organized by audio visual platform Sin Fin Cinema, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in The Hague
and other Spanish institutions and companies, will take place from 28 October to 1 November. This year the ASFF, that had to be postponed in May due to the outbreak of
COVID-19, will be held in the Pathé Tuschinski and Eye Filmmuseum cinemas in Amsterdam, taking into account all the necessary new health measures. It will then travel,
between November 4 and 8, 2020, to the Lantarenvenster and Pathé Schouwburgplein cinemas in Rotterdam, and, for the first time, also to the Pathé Buitenhof cinema in The
Hague. The festival aims to connect Dutch audiences to Spanish cinema, showing a great selection of recently released films from different genres: thrillers, comedies, dramas,
shorts, documentaries, etc.
“The innocence”, first film by Spanish director Lucía Alemany, will open the ASFF on Wednesday, October 28. Starring Carmen Arrufat, Laia Marull and Sergi López, it explains
the summer of a teenager who becomes pregnant in a small town near Castellón. This movie has received seven nominations for the Gaudí Awards and two for the Goya
Awards. The ASFF will close with "The island of lies" by Paula Cons, a story about three young people who risked their lives to save the survivors of steamboat Santa Isabel’s
shipwreck on the island of Sálvora (Galicia) in 1921.
In the section “Spanish cinema without fear”, that focuses on Spanish and Dutch co-productions, the films by Isabel Lamberti and Vanesa Abajo are worth highlighting. Both
directors grew up in the Netherlands and are based here. Lamberti’s “Last Days of Spring” portrays the Spanish Gabarre-Mendoza family in Cañada Real, a neighborhood with
numerous slums in the outskirts of Madrid. This movie premiered at the 68th San Sebastian International Film Festival, being one of the 5 films nominated for the VI Spanish
Cooperation Award. Abajo’s "Life is Dream" is an intimate and surrealist story of self-discovery questioning the value of family ties. The film has been selected for the Golden Kalf
Competition (category: large documentaries) of the 40th Dutch Film Festival, which was held from September 25 to October 3, 2020 in the city of Utrecht.

03 15th anniversary of the Spinoza Conference: Luis Landero
November 4th, 2020, webinar
The Spinoza Conference is a joint initiative of the Embassy of Spain to The Hague, the Instituto Cervantes in
Utrecht and the University of Amsterdam. Since 2005 it has been a great opportunity to meet renowned
Spanish-speaking writers and thinkers from Spain and Latin America, who lecture about any subject of their
choice.
This year, which also marks the conference’s 15th anniversary, the speaker is the Spanish writer Luis Landero
Durán (Alburquerque, Badajoz, 1948). His lecture entitled “Reader, writer, professor” will guide us along the
path of his literary life. Due to Covid-19, the event this time will not take place at the University of Amsterdam; it
will be livestreamed from the Instituto Cervantes headquarters in Madrid, including the presentation of the book
“15 years of the Spinoza Conference in Amsterdam”. This publication, co-edited by the Embassy of Spain and
the Instituto Cervantes, will collect the lectures delivered to date -including 2020- in a bilingual Spanish-Dutch
version.
Luis Landero studied Hispanic Philology at the Complutense University (Madrid). The success of "Games of
the late age" (Tusquets Editores, 1989), his first novel published when he was over forty years old, allowed him
to devote himself to writing. Landero’s oeuvre has been hailed by critics who mention the influence of
Cervantes and the use of a careful and dense language behind an apparent simplicity. His most recent work is
"Fine Rain" (Tusquets Editores, 2019), considered by many the best Spanish novel of 2019.

Some 50 films in competition will be screened, made by socially engaged filmmakers: productions that stir the

This autumn, in collaboration with the Film Library of the Spanish Agency for International Development
Cooperation (AECID), the Cervantes Institute in Utrecht continues the online projection of 3 film series on its

October is about the cycle of short films and documentaries "LGTBI", with cinematographic works from
Spain, Colombia and a documentary in Mexican-American co-production, which record the different
expressions and representations of this group.
In November, the "New cinephilias" series shows a more avant-garde Spanish cinematographic aspect, the
result of experimentation in the digital revolution, as well as the exploration of new narrative models at the
beginning of the 2000s.
To close the year, in December, there will be the cycle "Female shorts", based on the selection of the
winning short films from the different editions of the contest of the same name.

06 Modern painting on the Dutch Golden Age, exhibition by Lita Cabellut
3 October 2020 to 31 January 2021, Museum De Zwarte Tulp, Lisse
The Black Tulip Museum (Museum De Zwarte Tulp) in Lisse will present from October 3rd, 2020, to January 31st, 2021,
a series of works by Spanish artist Lita Cabellut. The paintings, drawn from private collections and based on the "black
tulip" theme and the great masters and thinkers of the Dutch Golden Age, combine traditional portrait techniques and
modern applications of oil painting.
Cabellut (1961, Huesca) has received international acclaim for her large-scale canvases. The different figures portrayed
come to life: prostitutes, religious people, historical figures, fictional characters or influential people. Beyond her defining
monumental portraits, Lita Cabellut is also a multi-disciplinary artist whose works include video art, visual poetry,
scenography, drawings, installations and sculptures. Her art has been exhibited all over the world: Barcelona, Seoul,
Seattle, Mumbai, Delhi, Tokyo and Berlin, among others.
In the Netherlands, where she lives and works, exhibitions on her work have been organized in the cities of Den Bosch
(Noord-Brabants Museum, 2013) and Amstelveen (Museum Jan, 2018), among others. Now it is Lisse's turn, where the
"black tulip" theme matches beautifully with the name of the museum and its collection that is dedicated to the cultivation
of flower bulbs, source of inspiration for many artists.
For more information please check the website of Museum De Zwarte Tulp and the artist herself.

07 Spanish artist Nora Aurrekoetxea in group exhibition “Palpable Surfaces”
9 to 25 October 2020, Trixie Gallery, The Hague
From October 9 to 25, the exhibition “Palpable Surfaces” will take place, organized by the contemporary art space
Tilde in Amsterdam and Trixie, a gallery in The Hague managed directly by the artists. The exhibition will feature
works by the Spanish artist Nora Aurrekoetxea, as well as other international artists such as Laura Jatkowsky,
Bronwen Jones and Matchteld Rullens.
"Palpable Surfaces" plays with the idea of materiality of artworks, the diversity of materials used and their interaction
with the viewer. The relationship between the material and immaterial make these experiences leave a mark or other
on us.
Nora Aurrekoetxea was born in the Basque Country (Bilbao, 1989), but currently living and working in the
Netherlands.
She was one of the artists that received the ARCO/Community of Madrid Award for Young Artists during this year’s
edition of this contemporary art fair. Nora Aurrekoetxea is interested in philosophical, psychological and sociological
issues related to the emotional aspects of human interactions in intimacy. She uses her own experiences to explore
both the personal and the collective.
