Spanish documentaries

Every month we try Bezzia inform you of the Featured movie premieres. We generally focus on in the movies, leaving little space for documentaries. And it will not be because interesting documentary film proposals are not released every month.

In order to restore a certain prominence to this audiovisual expression, today we focus our attention on some Spanish documentaries that have been released or will be released in the remainder of the month. Five in total that revolve around very different themes: from the life of an artist or the history of an artistic expression, to intimate proposals related to the family itself. Discover them!

For this reason, they decide to make their dream come true: the four of them get together again to embark on a cruise aboard the ship Fantasia. A trip that allows them to film the closest environment, the ups and downs of everyday life and the emotional ties that are woven: love, tenderness, nostalgia, old age, worries ...

Apaiz Kartzela (Prison for priests)

  • Premiere on November 26
  • Directed by Oier Aranzabal, Ritxi Lizartza, David Pallarés
  • Screenplay by Jon Mikel Aldanondo and Javier Barajas
Four priests imprisoned in the Zamora Prison for Priests (1968-1976) revisit the prison where they were sentenced, in some cases, to sentences of more than ten years for denouncing Franco's repression at their masses. It was precisely Franco who, using the Concordat signed with the Vatican, created this Concordat Prison, the only one in the world for religious. The documentary tells the story of the royal journey to which 53 religious from Madrid, Galicia, Catalonia and the Basque Country were subjected in their forced transfer to said prison.
