Camino
SPECIAL REPEAT SCREENING AS PART OF
'BEST OF THE FESTIVAL'
Sat 4th April 6:00pm Australian Premiere
Mon 13th April 6:30pm - Best of the Festival
Javier Fésser, 143 min, Spain, 2008. Drama.
Camino triumphed at the Spanish Academy Awards in 2009 winning all major categories including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay. Inspired by real events, this is a breathtakingly moving and poetic film, the emotional adventure of an extraordinary eleven year old girl, Camino, who is faced simultaneously with two completely new situations in her life: falling in love and dying. Above all else, Camino is a radiant light that shines through every gloomy obstacle in her path, denying every attempt to shroud in darkness her desire to live, to love and to feel the full depth of her happiness. A magical film, visually spectacular and beautifully heart-rending. Undoubtedly, one of the best Spanish films of the decade.
Cast Nerea Camacho, Carmen Elías, Mariano Venancio, Manuela Vellés
