New York, New York. June 1, 2025. A Night at La Nacional, the monthly film/arts event launched in April at the Spanish Benevolent Societys landmark headquarters on Manhattans West 14th Street and drawing diverse creative communities to its salon-like ambience, returns on Tuesday June 24th. La Nacional, which Daily News recently dubbed a hidden gem, is the last standing remnant of Manhattans Little Spain and one of the citys oldest non-profits. This June marks a century of the move to its permanent home, so the evening celebrates the milestone with a 1925-dress code event and Spanish film and art on display in full splendor.

This months marqueé is headlined by three distinguished Spanish film artists: Catalonias Marta Arjona (In Remembrance of the Forgotten, a dance drama), Lucía Román Canivell (Corahe, love and loss against the backdrop of a flamenco tablao), and the experimentalist Beach Birds: The Shaman, The Guardian, The Journey by performance artist/filmmaker Ivana Larrosa, who also brings Engrams, enhanced photographs of her ancestors from the early 20th century, to the gallery space. Surprise guests will round out the performance component.

A Night at La Nacional offers a worldly mix of contemporary arthouse, performance, music, visual arts and more in the great downtown Manhattan tradition, a lively hub for filmmakers, performers, artists and communities to share work and forge partnerships while drawing new patrons to La Nacional, serving its Spanish constituency and artists from all corners of the world since its founding. Doors open 5:30 for the mixer and art exhibit, performances at 6:30, screening at 8 with a Q & A and after-party. Welcome one and all.

Admission to A Night at La Nacional is free. Donations accepted.
