This film-series includes a variety of Latino American films that take a look at Spanish industry and people and the ongoing relationship and cinematographic cultures of Spain and Latin America. With a combination of co-produced films, Latin-American directors working in Spain and documentaries of Spain´s view of Latin America, these films show centuries of co-existence, with each culture blending into the other.
