The Spanish Earth with The War Game

The first feature is by Joris Ivens: Filmed in 1937, The Spanish Earth was made with funds raised by anti-Franco Americans, including Ernest Hemingway and Lillian Hellman. Also on the bill is Peter Watkins’s The War Game (1965), an unsparing depiction of the aftermath of a nuclear-bombed England, which went on to nab the Best Documentary Oscar.
