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.

RONDALLAS / Band Together (2025) 

Director Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, with Javier Gutiérrez, María Vázquez, Tamar Novas,  José A. Touriñán Judith Fernández

In Spanish and Galician with English subtitles 

The story begins when a shipwreck survivor teams up with his new love interest, the widow of one of the missing crew members. Together, they rally the entire town - from children to the elderly - to revive the  traditional rondalla. By participating in local musical competitions using instruments like tambourines and bagpipes, the villagers aim to overcome their loss, rediscover their joy, and look toward the future. What startsas a drama evolves into a charming and uplifting comedy about memory, resilience and the powerful sense of belonging that comes from feeling part of a community.

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.
