Film night in Haría: John Ford’s 1941 film ‚How Green Was My Valley‘
As part of the 16th Muestra de Cine de Lanzarote, John Ford's 1941 film «How Green Was My Valley» will be screened at the Sala El Aljibe in Haría. This will be followed by an open discussion with the audience. The evening forms part of the 'Trasfoco: Pueblos' section, which showcases films about life in rural communities.
The film tells the story of the Morgan family, a family of miners living in a Welsh valley at the end of the 19th century. It depicts a community shaped by work, faith and music, but also by industrial exploitation, labour disputes and emigration.
The leading roles are played by Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Donald Crisp and Roddy McDowall. The film won five Oscars, including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director.
The screening begins at 19:00. Afterwards, the audience is invited to an open discussion. The 'Trasfoco: Pueblos' section is dedicated to films that portray the life, memory and transformation of rural communities. On Saturday 28 November, Felipe Cazals' 1976 film "Canoa" will be screened in the same Sala El Aljibe at 19:00, followed by a talk by Alejandro García, a lecturer at the University of Murcia.
