L'Alternativa Hall
Hall Selects
This section comprises 6 programmes put together exclusively for l'Alternativa Hall following different thematic or stylistic threads or pure intuition. A rich tapestry of international films and vídeos for all audiences, though perhaps not for all tastes. Eccentricities, conviction, genius, documentary, criticism, humour, observation and intimate visions. Pure eclecticism for curious eyes.
