Film Screening: 'Las Chicas Están Bien'

Join us for a screening of 'Las Chicas Están Bien,' an intimate and atmospheric debut film directed by Itsaso Arana. This poignant story follows five women—four actresses and a writer—over a week in a rural house as they prepare for a theatrical performance. As they rehearse and interact, their spontaneous conversations meld with scripted dialogues, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. The film naturally addresses themes of friendship, death, vocation, and love, reflecting a shared form of resistance in a safe space where personal transformation occurs. Arana’s film creates a hierarchy-free, collective narrative where each actress shines as a lead. 'Las Chicas Están Bien' draws inspiration from European auteur cinema, constructing an emotional space shot with sensitivity and freedom, celebrating the transformative power of collaborative creation. The film has received nominations for Best New Direction at the Goya Awards 2024 and Best Comedy Film at the Feroz Awards 2024. 85
