"Land Without Bread"
1932
Directed by Luis Bunuel

An extraordinary film about the impoverished people living in the Las Hurdes region of Spain. Bunuel constructs the film in the manner of a travelogue. The absurdity of the contrast between narration and image results in a vision so powerful the film seems surreal. Plus a classic short film, Housing Problems, directed by A. Elton and E. Anstey. Spanish with English subtitles.
45 minutes.
