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.

A filmmaker in a process of emotional and artistic crisis receives one day a mysterious packet, which contains a film and a tape with the voice of an acquaintance of his whose obsession is film. This is just the beginning of one of the most disturbing and hypnotic movies of the last 30 years. Acclaimed by the critics as a masterpiece, Arrebato raptures the audience since its first sequence, vampirizing them as a work of art would do with the viewer. Eusebio Poncela –The Law of the Desire-, Cecilia Roth –All about my Mother-, Epitafios- and the amazing Will More, are the main characters of this unmissable cult movie, which one might like or dislike, but it will never let the spectator feel indifferent but “arrebatado” (raptured).
