Coinciding with the celebration of Book Day on 23 April, the Fundación Tres Culturas is offering a season dedicated to Literature, an eternal source of inspiration for cinema.

While literature has inspired all kinds of films, from major productions to cult minority films, conversely, cinema has also brought many people to read adapted books that would not have gained the attention of a large number of readers if they had not been made into films.
