On Friday February 10, Carlos Saura, the Aragonese director, died at the age of 91.
Carlos Saura joined Buñuel, Berlanga and Bardem, the greatest Spanish filmmakers of our time. Together with his illustrious friends, he created the essence of Spanish cinema during the most difficult period of its recent history, the Franco dictatorship and the transition.

The first winner of the Woven Voices prize for migrant playwrights is an open-hearted play that layers a Belarusian woman’s past and present.
Leather jackets and protest banners, bootleg booze and molotov cocktails hang from above. These are the props from Dasha’s teenage years growing up in Belarus, back when she was an anarchist and, amid the fall of the Berlin Wall, change felt possible. Now middle-aged, Dasha has a chance to move to the US but, if she is to get away, she’ll have to help quell the unrest that rumbles around yet another corrupt election. Should she flee and thrive – or stay and fight?
