The art of electoral poster study —the descriptive interpretation of posters during elections— is revived every time the ballot boxes are dusted off, and in the case of the Andalusian elections on the upcoming May 17, it was no different. The parties running on 17-M launched the campaign last night, with a poster posting that is already as traditional as it is symbolic, and unveiled their slogans and composition.

For weeks, Germany has closely followed the story of a humpback whale trapped in shallow waters of the Baltic Sea.

On August 3, 1965, a modest article appeared in the pages of La Vanguardia without a signature announcing the result of a surgical milestone. A 35-year-old woman with a terminal illness had received the first organ transplant (kidney) performed in Spain, at the Clínic hospital in Barcelona. “The operation took effect on the 23rd [of July], but the news was not released until the results had satisfactorily fulfilled the intended success,” the text indicates, one of the few mentions of the event.

Barcelona, thanks to its 28 victories, 80 goals scored, and 11-point lead, has earned five championship chances. The first opportunity is this weekend. Although it does not depend on itself, Barça only has one result that matters if it wants to celebrate the title now: winning at El Sadar tonight. Otherwise, there will be no possible combination because in this first scenario it cannot be champion on the pitch but only later.

Its beauty is such that it seems to have been hand-painted, which is why it has been officially recognized as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. Unofficially, it has earned another title: “village of the artists.” Perhaps it is because it offers a perfect symbiosis between historical heritage, artistic avant-garde, and landscape richness.

Eduardo Casanova wanted to tell the world that it is perfectly possible to live with HIV and nothing happens, that stigmas only feed hatred. This is what the Spanish actor and director explains in Sidosa, the documentary released last week in some cinemas with which he has decided to “break years of silence.” The film, produced and hosted by Jordi Évole and directed by Lluís Galter and Màrius Sánchez, is conceived as a cathartic journey seasoned with humor, emotion, memory, and cinema, which allows understanding the reality of people with HIV today.

Alen Craig3 months ago3 months ago08 mins

Michael, the biopic about Michael Jackson, is making a splash globally: 217 million in its first opening weekend and number one at the worldwide box office. And that despite the bad reviews. The biopic genre has long since made an important place for itself in cinemas. The lives of real people are usually a good draw to attract the viewer’s attention and, in the process, manage to boost box office revenue. The approval of the critics is another matter.
