The demand regarding SIELE exams at our school has increased a lot during 2018. After completing a Spanish course students can take a test to obtain the official SIELE certificate. SIELE is the International Service for Spanish Language Assessment, aimed at students, which digitally certifies Spanish language proficiency levels.

The SIELE exams are basically promoted by the Spanish Instituto Cervantes and different universities in Spain and South America.

At Escuela Montalbán we offer the SIELE GLOBAL exam. This exam is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and certifies the degree of proficiency in reading and listening comprehension, written expression and interaction, and spoken expression and interaction.

The SIELE GLOBAL certificate costs 155 € and is valid for 2 years. The exams take place every Wednesday between 15.00 and 18.00 hrs.

For further information regarding the enolment and preparation lessons at our school, contact us!

The aim of the Granada Film Festival Cines del Sur is to disseminate and promote films made in the countries of the so-called geopolitical south. Thus, the Festival will provide a space for the meeting of both young filmmakers and established talents from these countries, allowing for the screening of both new productions and emblematic and historic works.

There was a time, back in the fifties, when the West discovered cinema from the East. Such cinema, obviously, had been around for some time, but it had rarely reached our screens and we knew almost nothing about it. We then discovered the work of its great masters, the main lines of strength of its production, its most frequent genres and subgenres. With time, oriental film even became a favoured topic of theoretical attention and academic work. The voyage is far from over, although the geopolitical South soon began to take on clear protagonism in specialized journals and festivals all over the world.

In the age of the new cinemas (with Latin America being at the head) and the
emergence of young filmmakers in the most remote corners of the planet, this South was demanding the attention it had never before received and the
international circuit of festivals finally seemed willing to comply.

The Granada Festival Cines del Sur has joined that circuit, and it does so with the intention not of making untimely discoveries but rather of contributing to the public's knowledge about a subject the wealth and diversity of which have been amply demonstrated. Far from falling into that monolithic stereotype which, from comfortable ignorance, some people attribute to them, cinemas from the South offer images as varied as they are vibrant, and which our Festival now
intends to make available to the public, for the enjoyment of viewers.

Fiction and documentary -as well as any middle ground or hybrid formula-, commercial productions and films of the auteur tradition, celluloid and digital ... all quality films produced in the South will find a place within the design of the Granada Festival.
