We are excited to be able to screen a series of five films drawn from across the Spanish-speaking world, thanks to funding from Pragda's Spanish Film Club and the University Library's Lozano endowment. PRAGDA’S Spanish FILM CLUB introduces students to the linguistic, cultural, and cinematic diversity of Spain and Latin America.  The series begins on September 16, 2025 and continues through November 18, 2025 in the Rue Auditorium. All screenings are FREE and open to the Rider community and others.

Film Synopsis:

"Olivia is getting ready for her family’s Christmas Eve party. But her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) voice in her head, which has been under control for some time, suddenly returns, prompting a desperate search for the pills that have helped her in the past. The lack of health insurance forces Olivia to reach out to her friend Jessica – whom she met years ago in a mental institution. Jessica introduces her to David, the town’s pharmacist’s son, who agrees to sell her the pills. Trapped inside David’s apartment by a rainstorm, the two strangers start uncovering truths about each other and begin a healing process that doesn’t necessarily involve pills."
