A genre-defying queer epic, rooted in the legacy of beloved Spanish writer Federico García Lorca, this is majestic and original filmmaking.
Spain, 1932. A young man awaits to see if he has secured membership of the local casino. In 1937, a young nationalist soldier guards a republican prisoner. Jump to 2017 and an unexpected document is inherited by an historian from his grandfather. These timelines and a breathtaking cinematic audacity shapes this dazzlingly constructed and performed triptych about communication, inheritance, silence and memory.
La Bola Negra will also be screening here at Broadway on general release in November - tickets will be on sale soon.
Screening as part of BFI London Film Festival 2026
