In honor of the Meadows Museum’s sixtieth anniversary, Movies with the Meadows will present three films from the decade of our founding, the 1960s. These films, whether drama, comedy, or satire, capture the spirit of the decade in Spain. All films are screened in the Bob and Jean Smith Auditorium

La Tia Tula (Aunt Tula) (1964) directed by Miguel Picazo 

Based on Miguel de Unamuno’s 1921 novel of the same title, La tía Tula is regarded as a classic of Spanish cinema. When her sister dies, unmarried Tula moves in with her brother-in-law Ramiro to manage the household affairs and care for her two nephews. Ramiro soon wants to marry his sister-in-law, but Tula insists on maintaining a platonic relationship and living together becomes more difficult each day. The film won the award for Best Spanish Language Film and Picazo for Best Director at the 1964 San Sebastián International Film Festival.
