Pre-Conference Film Screening and Panel Discussion

You are warmly invited to the UK premiere of the newly restored film Sierra de Teruel followed by a discussion. This is an unprecedented opportunity to watch this fully restored, historic 1938–1939 Spanish-French war film directed by French writer André Malraux and Boris Peskine with a screenplay co-written by Malraux and Mexican-Spanish novelist Max Aub. The film is based on Malraux’s own 1937 novel L’Espoir (Man’s Hope), inspired by his real-life experience as commander of a volunteer air squadron during the Spanish Civil War.
