Free screening of Paula Ortiz's black-and-white horror film 'The Bride' (La Novia, 2015), presented by the Cervantes Chair at the University of Edinburgh.
The Bride (La Novia) is screening at the Institut Français d'Écosse on Thursday 29 October, a Spanish feature film from 2015 directed by Paula Ortiz. It's being presented by the Cervantes Chair at the University of Edinburgh, so it's part of the city's Spanish-language cultural programming rather than a standalone cinema run.
Ortiz's film is a visual piece of work, and seeing it on a screen rather than at home does it a fair bit of justice. It's a Spanish production, and the screening comes as part of the Cervantes Chair's work here in Edinburgh, which often brings Spanish cinema and literature to the city. If you've got an interest in Spanish film, this is a good one to catch.
The venue is the Institut Français d'Écosse at West Parliament Square in the Old Town, right in the heart of the city. It's a cultural centre that promotes the French language and French culture in Edinburgh and across Scotland, part of the wider Institut Français network around the world. It's been promoting cross-cultural exchange since 1946 and celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2026, so it's a well-established spot for this kind of thing.
