This May, to highlight the rich diversity of viewpoints and narratives, Instituto Cervantes de Manila<\/strong> is presenting the online film cycle \u201cZonazine<\/strong>,\u201d a showcase of Spanish and Latin American documentaries. The films will be shown through the Instituto Cervantes channel on Vimeo<\/a> and will be freely accessible for 48 hours from their start date and time.<\/p>\n

The series, which comprises of four films, will kick off on May 8, Saturday, with the online screening of\u00a0El cuarto reino<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>(The Fourth Kingdom), available for 48 hours through the folllowing link<\/a>.\u00a0Directed by Ad\u00e1n Aliaga and \u00c0lex Lora in 2019, this documentary has received several awards worldwide \u2013-the 2020 Gaud\u00ed Award for Best Documentary and the Grand Jury Award at the 2019 Atlanta Film Festival, among them. It portrays the daily life of a can collection and recycling center in a New York neighborhood. Through Ren\u00e9, an illegal worker from Mexico, and the relationships he establishes with his peers, the film explores the lie of the “American dream.” In the face of disappointment, the escape is usually alcohol, but Ren\u00e9 also discovers beauty and art in the world around him.<\/p>\n

In this war film there are no gun shots, but there is a wound: that of the lonely and tenacious Cuban ex-combatant, Mandarria, who is looking for the comrades who survived in his last mission 30 years ago, in the Nicaragua of the Sandinista revolution, in a quest to give meaning to his life. The film will be available only on May 15 & 16 through this link.<\/a><\/p>\n
