Murcian Film Returns to Cinemas
THE Murcian film Sorda returns to cinemas after being preselected to represent Spain in the International Feature Film category at the Oscars. It is one of three films in the running, alongside RomerÃa and Sirat.
About the film and director
Written and directed by Eva Libertad from Molina de Segura, Sorda explores the challenges couples face when navigating parenthood, while highlighting the intersection between the deaf and hearing worlds. The film focuses on communication, understanding, and the emotional journeys of families bridging these experiences. Its sensitive portrayal of relationships has drawn attention across Spain and beyond.

In the Region of Murcia, Sorda will be shown exclusively at Neocine Vega Plaza in Molina de Segura, with a daily screening at 6:00pm.

Awaiting Spain’s Oscar decision
The final decision on Spain’s Oscar submission will be announced on Wednesday, September 17. Best of luck to Sorda as it aims to bring a piece of Murcia to the international stage!
Spanish films at the Oscars
Spain has a proud history at the Academy Awards. Films like All About My Mother by Pedro Almodóvar and The Sea Inside by Alejandro Amenábar have won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film, while other Spanish productions have earned nominations and international acclaim. This legacy shows the global reach and recognition of Spanish cinema, making the preselection of Murcian films even more exciting.
