''¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Film Festival'' is an internationally renowned annual festival, established in 1995, that is dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of Spanish and Latin American cinema. It takes place at HOME, Manchester (2015 onward), having previously taken place at Cornerhouse, Manchester (1995 - 2015). ''¡Viva!'' is the only UK festival dedicated to the promotion of Spanish and Latin American cinema. It is produced by HOME (previously Cornerhouse) in partnership with Manchester’s Instituto Cervantes and with The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. Aside from presenting a wide range of Spanish language film from across the globe, the week-long festival is also committed to the teaching of Spanish and Latin American culture, and offers study sessions and engagement events for the general public, GCSE and A-Level students and teachers. Throughout the years, ''¡Viva!'' has presented a variety of new and independent films, as well as a selection of notable older productions. It has welcomed a host of directors and actors to show and discuss their work, including Bigas Luna, Julio Medem, Carlos Sorín, Icíar Bollaín, and Gabriel Nesci amongst others. In January 2015, it was announced that ''¡Viva!'' would be adopting a new format for the 2015 festival, taking place over three separate weekends throughout the year, to form part of the opening programme of HOME, Manchester’s International Centre for Contemporary Visual Art, Film and Theatre that is the result of a merger between Cornerhouse and Manchester’s Library Theatre Company. The first ‘''¡Viva!'' Weekender’ in March 2015 was the last ¡Viva! event to be held at Cornerhouse – all future events related to the festival, including two further ‘Weekenders’ in June and November 2015, focusing on Mexico and Spain respectively, will be held at HOME, with the festival returning to its traditional week-long format from 2016. ==External links== * ¡Viva!
