The 2025 HSBC Spanish Film Festival presented by Palace will be coming to Palace Cinemas in Melbourne from 13 June - 2 July. The festival will feature the best cinema from Spain and Latin America.
It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Hispanic culture and language!
The team at El Patio have picked out 5 films that caught our eye from this year’s program.
Pick #1 El 47
A Spanish box office smash hit and 5-time winner at the 2025 Goya Awards, El 47 tells the incredible true story of an act of peaceful dissent and a grassroots neighbourhood movement that transformed Barcelona and the image of its suburbs forever.
Pick #2 Nine Queens
Celebrating its 25th anniversary and now remastered in 4K, Ricardo Darín and Gaston Pauls star as a pair of smalltime swindlers suddenly in the bigtime in this brilliant Argentinian crime thriller.
Pick #3 Marco, The Invented Truth
Eduard Fernández delivers a standout performance in this gripping moral thriller and incredible true story of Enric Marco, a charismatic man, who spent years harbouring an unimaginable lie and keeping it publicly alive.
Pick #4 What We Wanted to Be
In this long-awaited return to directing of auteur Alejandro Agresti, veteran actors Luis Rubio and Eleonora Wexler star in this stunning and intimate story of the illusion of love and beautiful tribute to cinema as a place for dreams.
Pick #5 El Jockey
A legendary jockey’s self-destructive behaviour is beginning to outshine his talent and threaten his relationship with his girlfriend in this quirky, stylish thriller set in Buenos Aires, starring Nahuel Pérez Biscayart and Úrsula Corberó.
