The Film Society of Lincoln Center's current series, "Another Spanish Cinema: Films in Catalunya 1906-2006," screening at the Walter Reade Theater from January 27 through February 14, sheds light on a little known facet of Spanish cinema: films from the Catalan region of Spain, and its celebrated city of Barcelona. This section of Spain has contributed such great artists as Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and Antonio Gaudi. However, its considerable contributions to world cinema as been little noted. This film series sets out to correct this situation.
