EL 47 (★★★★★) and Through Rocks and Clouds (★★★★★): The Spanish Film Festival offers two tales of struggle by Angela Viora

While vastly different in tone, scope, and geography, El 47 and Through Rocks and Clouds (titled Raíz in Spanish) offer complementary visions of resistance – one overtly political, the other quietly poetic. Together, they provide a rich entry point into contemporary Spanish and Indigenous language cinema, balancing crowd-pleasing drama with subtle, art-house storytelling.
