Kent State will host a Spanish film series featuring recent cinema from Spanish and Latin America in the Michael Schwartz Center Auditorium beginning Thursday, March 5.
Every year, Kent State looks to find thought-provoking and intriguing films to show that give a different look at life in Spanish speaking countries, said Alvaro Marín Garcia, a grad appointee in the Department of Institute for Applied Linguistics. This year’s festival will feature five films, with showings between March 5 and 14.
