Short Film Festival ‘Al Cine’ Alcalá de Henares 2014

Short Film Festival ‘Al Cine’ Alcalá de Henares 2014. Program of Session 13 Nov.  If you couldn’t go to this session you might still be interested in watching. Just search the net by typing in the title of the film and name of director and you’ll get it online.

My favourite one was ‘Dibris’ by Mark O’Rowe . David’s long term girlfriend, Catherine, killed herself some time ago and David is now making plans to marry another woman. On his day off, just by chance, he  meets Margareth, her exgirlfriend’s sister, which makes him think about just how complicit he was in her death.

Don’t forget to click on the ‘subtitle’ option in English if you need to.

I suggest that you watch this short film and either discuss in class or here by leaving comments below, the possible reasons for Catherine to commit suicide and David’s part in it. What do you think?

Subtitles: in English!!!!

One of the reasons for watching original versions is to practise the language, particularly your listening and comprehension skills. However, most of us tend to read subtitles in our own language, which makes concentration on the second language more difficult.

MY SUGGESTION: use English subtitles!!!  easy if you are watching directly from Youtube or simmilar. Whenever you search for a documentary, series, film, just type “English subtitles” after the title.
