OPENING NIGHT FILM
Screening: Wednesday, October 7 at 7:30pm • Opening Night Party: 5:30 PM
From Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi — known together as Los Javis — LA BOLA NEGRA follows three generations of men across pivotal moments in Spanish history, bound by pain, desire, and love. Carlos (Milo Quifes) longs to belong in a fractured Spain. Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente) finds connection across enemy lines. And Alberto (Carlos González) uncovers a long-buried family secret — one that finally gives voice to truths the past tried to erase. Co-written by
Calvo, Ambrossi, and Alberto Conejero, and adapted from Conejero’s play La Piedra Oscura, and La bola negra and other texts by Federico García Lorca. The film also stars Miguel Bernardeau (Rafael), Goya winner Lola Dueñas (Teresa), Academy Award winner Penélope Cruz (Nené), Golden Globe winner Glenn Close (Isabelle), and Emmy-nominated Julio Torres (Juan Pablo).
The screening will be preceded by the Cine Latino Opening Night Party,
sponsored by Netflix and featuring Flamenco dancers!
