Renowned for his interest in the intersections of documentary and fiction, Spanish director José Luis Guerín provides a playful and thought-provoking account of many generations living, working, and playing in Vallbona.  (José Luis Guerin, 2025, Spanish, Catalan, French, and Russian with English subtitles, DCP, 122 minutes)

Presented in partnership with the Washington, DC International Film Festival (Filmfest DC).

Two people look out of side-by-side windows in a brick building in this horizontal black and white photograph. The woman on our left has a double chin and a broad chest. She wears a polka-dotted dress and dark shawl or vest, and she leans forward with one hand on the sill. Her face is partially shadowed by a white window blind. An American flag hanging near this window billows across the right two-thirds of the picture, entirely hiding the second person’s head. That person wears a coat buttoned up to a rounded collar. They hold one hand near their chin and the other by their waist. The flag has eight columns of stars. The work is signed and dated in the white margin below: “1955 HOBOKEN” to the left and “Robert Frank” to the right.
