About Us

The goal of CineClub Iberamericano is to celebrate the richness of the Spanish language and its many varieties and cultures around the world via their cinematic traditions in largometraje, or feature-length films and documentaries. CineClub selects award-winning films from the international festival circuit that reflect the cinematic tradition and culture of the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America and the Caribbean across all genres.

The club invites professors and graduate students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to introduce each film and to provide insight into the underlying historical, social and political themes that allow for a better understanding and appreciation of each cinematic presentation.

CineClub Iberoamericano screens three or four films during the semester. Events typically take place at 5:00 PM on Fridays and are free and open to the public.

All films are shown with English subtitles.

Laberinto movie
Labyrinth of Passion (Spain, 1982)
Friday, December 3rd, 5:30 pm
Van Hise Hall 104

A campy comedy about pop star Sexilia (Cecilia Roth), who falls in love with gay Middle-Eastern prince (Antonio Banderas). Their unlikely destiny is to find one another, overcome their sexual preferences and live happily ever after on a tropical island.

Depicting the hedonism of underground music venues and gay cruising grounds, the daring script shows Almodóvar’s enthusiastic embrace of Spain’s new-found freedom of expression.
