CULTURAL CAPITAL PROGRAMS
Women in Film/Mujeres de Cine—Screening and Conversation
Rastros de Sándalo (Traces of Sandalwood), 2014, 95 min.
Sunday, September 25, 2016, 3–5:30 p.m.
This award-winning film follows two separated sisters—one awash in the colorful melodrama of Bollywood, the other locked in the sterility of a biology lab in Barcelona. Based on the novel by Asha Miró and Anna Soler-Pont, the film was directed by Maria Ripoll and produced by an all-female crew. After the screening, Aina Clotet, who received a best actress nomination from the 2015 Gaudi Awards for her role in the film, discusses her experience as an actor in what is historically a male-dominated field. Followed by a reception. Free. Reservations required online
