La Plaza del Diamante!!
Hola Chicos,
I hope the semester is going well for everyone!! This week we are showing the Spanish film 'La plaza del diamante': "Two opposing characters--she, docile and sensitive, he, domineering yet childish--are forced to mature when their lives are shattered by a tragic, cruel and violent civil war"
We can confirm that this film DOES have subtitles, and we sincerely apologise for the lack of subtitles on the film two weeks ago!!
This week we are once again in the case room on level 2 in the business school. Introduction of the film will begin around 5.30pm Wednesday with the screening shortly afterwards
See you all there :)

Hi Guys,

This week at LAIFS we are trying something NEW and EXCITING.
We are meeting in the business school building in room 317 at 5:30. Firstly we are going to watch a short documentary called Zapatista women - see below for more details. Following this at 6:30 we will start our first conversation class for the year! This will be based around music with activities for you to do and lots of opportunities to practice your spanish.
We look forward to seeing you all!
Steph and Fi

La casa de Bernada Alba
Hola!
We are super excited to announce that we have a room to begin film screenings this semester!
This week, Wednesday 4 August, from 5pm, we will be watching La casa de Bernarda Alba, based on a play by Federico Garcia Lorca. We are also very lucky to have Professor Jose Colmeiro coming to speak to us about the film before the screening gets underway.
This week, and for most of the semester, we will be in Room 260-223 in the Business School. (The location is Case Room on LEVEL 2 (not the basement!) - after exiting from the lifts turn right and walk to the end).
We are looking forward to seeing you all there!!

Starting semester 2 with a bang!!
Hi guys,
Welcome back to semester two. We are looking at starting the semester with a bang, so first week back we thought we could hit up the international film festival - We were planning to head to 'Secrets of the tribe' on Wednesday 21 July.
We will meet at Mezze bar at 7:30 for hot chocolate and a quick look at what is coming up this semester. The film starts at 8:30 so we will head to the Academy cinemas just past 8. It will be $12 for student tickets and $14 for non students - bring anyone who will be interested!
See the links below for all the required details!!

Spanish Speaking
Hey guys,
As we previously mentioned, Steph and I won't be available to come this week to run a film, so LAIFS will be having a spanish speaking week. We understand that many of you are getting into the frantic stages of the semester with final tests and assignments and so may not be able to attend. However, we do highlight how great this opportunity is for those of you studying spanish this semester and may have oral exams coming up. This is an ideal time to practice and prepare for those exams - in a relaxed environment, which generally helps the language flow.
We suggest that you meet as usual around 5pm at Mezze Bar on little high st, though if there are a group of you meeting elsewhere, please reply to this to let people know!! Cheers.
Saludos y suerte a todos!!
