Días de Cine Reading Club features 'El sur' for the next two weeks

The movie, based on Adelaida García Morales' novel, will be available at Días de Cine Reading Club until May 12th, 2013. This initiative is sponsored by the America Reads Spanish program and the American Library Association to promote literature and the Spanish language in American libraries and universities.

El sur, directed by Víctor Erice, stars Omero Antonutti, Sonsoles Aranguren and Icíar Bollaín. The movie will be available to participating libraries and universities.

El sur tells a melancholic story of a little girl who is living in a city in the north of Spain. She is fascinated by the secrets of the south which seem to be hidden in the personality of her father. As she grows up, she learns that he once had a lover, and that he's still in love with her.

The program is offered at no cost to U.S. libraries and universities. To participate, libraries simply have to register and send the form provided at the America Reads Spanish website. They will receive an exclusive user password via e-mail. This password will allow them to enjoy, legally and free of charge, public viewing of the movie of the week via online streaming at a library or university. All it requires is a computer and internet connection. For more information click here or send an email to Miami@comercio.mineco.es.
