CINE CLUB

A great way to keep your Spanish skills sharp is to watch movies in Spanish. I recently contacted Instituto Cervantes because they are about to start a Colombian film series that will go the next six weeks. All they are asking for is a five dollar donation if you do attend the films. It looks like they will be showing short and feature length films each Wednesday. I have never been to Instituto Cervantes so I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but I'm sure it will be great. I was told there will probably be around 150 people there. The schedule is below.
