Dreaming of Memories
Director Carla Simón discusses her latest film, Romería, and the dreamlike process of exploring family memories and grief. On Monday, 9 November 2026, she will be at the Curzon Canterbury Westgate in Canterbury to talk about her work.
As the lights dim, the audience will be transported to the wind-swept Galician port town of Vigo, where an aspiring young filmmaker, Marina, uncovers conflicting narratives about her parents' death.
What inspired Simón to create this film? Simón's own biological parents died when she was six years old, and her films have been deeply rooted in family dynamics, capturing its rhythms and both the joy and trauma that are passed down through the generations.
Who is behind this event? The event will feature director Carla Simón discussing her film with Sophia Satchell-Baeza, exploring the importance of looking back and the role of dreams in processing grief.
