🎬🇵🇪 A world for Julius at the Edinburgh Spanish Film Festiva
As part of our efforts to promote Peruvian cinema and literature in the United Kingdom, the Embassy of Peru was delighted to present #AWorldforJulius (Un mundo para Julius), directed by Rossana Díaz Costa, in collaboration with the #EdinburghSpanishFilmFestival. ✨🎥
🎙️ Ambassador Ignacio Higueras highlighted the power of cinema to share Peru’s stories, culture and social realities with international audiences, strengthening cultural ties between Peru and the United Kingdom. 🇵🇪🤝🇬🇧
📖 Based on the acclaimed novel by #AlfredoBryceEchenique, the film offers a poignant portrait of a young boy discovering the social inequalities of 1950s Peru. It was particularly meaningful to share this adaptation, to commemorate the passing of one of Peru’s most celebrated writers, whose literary legacy continues to resonate across generations. 🕊️✨
Our sincere thanks to the Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival and the French Institute in Edinburgh for bringing Peruvian cinema to audiences in Scotland.
