Now in its second year, Spanish Cinema Now + Dallas presents a showcase of films reflecting the breadth of styles and talent at work in Spain today, including 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 thanks to a partnership with the Embassy of Spain and Dallas Film. Space is limited and advance registration is required.

Tonight’s screening is Por donde pasa el silencio (Where the Silence Passes, 2024), a drama written and directed by Sandra Romero Acevedo. It’s Holy Week and Antonio (Antonio Araque) has to return to Écija, a city in the heart of Andalusia, after a long time away. Once there, he reunites with his family and his twin brother, Javier (Javier Araque), who has a physical disability and needs his help. Antonio has to navigate this tricky situation and take a tough decision: stay and help his loved ones or return to the life he has built elsewhere. An intimate and realistic portrait of family tensions in a rural Andalusian setting. Sandra Romero captures raw love, guilt, caregiving and emotional disconnection within a working-class family trapped between old traditions and new forms of resistance. Romero was nominated for Best New Director in the 39th Goya Awards for this film.
