Part of the first edition of the Belfast Spanish Film Festival, run with the London Spanish Film Festival.



Held this year at Odeon Belfast while Strand is closed for refurbishment.

MI AMIGA EVA / My Friend Eva (2025)  

Director Cesc Gay, with Nora Navas, Rodrigo de la Serna, Juan Diego Botto, Àgata Roca, Francesco Carril, Marian Alvarez, Miki Esparbé

In Spanish and Catalan with English subtitles 

At 50, after more than twenty years of marriage to Víctor - the father of her two teenage children- Eva makes a life-altering realisation during a business trip to Rome: she wants to fall in love again before it is “too late.” Once back in Barcelona, she makes the bold decision to leave her husband and re-enter the uncertain world of seduction and romance. Gay’s film is a tender reflection on the power of belief - belief in life, in desire, and in oneself. In the director’s first film centered on a female protagonist, Nora Navas delivers a deeply relatable and quietly moving performance as Eva, capturing both her vulnerability and her fierce determination to reclaim her own story.

Celebrating the richness and diversity of the cinema made in Spain, this festival brings stories, voices, and perspectives of Spain to Belfast. Through a very small selection of films that entertain, inspire, and challenge, we invite you to discover new worlds, share experiences, and connect through the universal language of cinema.

Join us in celebrating this exciting first edition and the beginning of a new cultural connection between Belfast and Spain.
