Spanish Cinema Now+ presents a showcase of films that reflects the breadth of styles and talents at work in Spain today, including both established auteurs and emerging filmmakers from the international festival scene. After its spring presentation in Washington, DC, the Meadows Museum will bring these films to Texas this summer thanks to a partnership with the Embassy of Spain and Dallas Film.
This month we present 20,000 Species of Bees / 20.000 especies de abejas (2023) written and directed by Estibaliz Urresola. Ane, in the midst of a professional and personal crisis, spends the summer holiday with her three children in a village house, which is closely linked to beekeeping and honey production. Ane’s mother, Lita, and her aunt, Lourdes, live there. 20,000 Species of Bees received 15 nominations for the Goya Film Awards, including best film and best new director.
