Spanish cinema is flourishing, thanks in large part to a dynamic film industry bolstered by strong national and regional support, a rich and expansive creative talent and diverse natural, cultural and urban landscapes.

Those elements are on dazzling display in the seven films showcased at the Goya Goes To – New Spanish Films showcase, which runs April 16-19 in New York City, organized by Spain’s Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences, its ICAA film agency and export and investment board ICEX, which has launched a drive, Where Talent Ignites – Audiovisual From Spain, to focus on Spanish talent.
