Predefinição:Date Predefinição:United States A limited edition DVD of the film Little Spain, directed by Artur Balder, is now available on the official website of the Spanish Benevolent Society. The film, that summarizes a part of Hispanic immigration in the United States displaying the history of New York City, is based upon a set of old photographs and testimonies showing a neighborhood called Little Spain in Manhattan, situated at the West End of 14th Street, in the time when densely populated by Spaniards and Hispanic immigrants.

According to the film's content and press release, Little Spain was populated by Spaniards, Puerto Ricans, and other Hispanic immigrants, located south Chelsea and West Village, around the west end of 14th Street. The interviewees in the film explain the Spaniards tended to live in close proximity to one another; and, in many cases, in close proximity to Spanish-speakers from countries other than Spain — such as Puerto Ricans in New York.

The film sees the Spanish-American director & journalist Artur Balder trace the journey of those who left Spain and South America in search of a better life in the United States, describing the story of its most important entrance port, New York City, and the formation of the Little Spain community.

The result is a sixty minute, feature-length, documentary looking back at the founding of La Nacional in 1868 and the uptick in migration from the Iberian nation following Spain’s loss of Cuba in 1898; continuing through to the Hispanic apex in the area, after Spain’s 1936-1939 Civil War, finally charting the community’s sharp decline in the 1970s and 1980s.

Well into the 1960s, with Spanish still commonly-spoken on 14th Street, the film also displays footage of the Santiago Apóstol, or St. James Day, festival, which "died out" in the early 1990s as a consequence of the steady exodus of the remnants of the Hispanic community from that part of the city.

Artur Balder works closely with New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in order to show the film in NYC. He is currently working on two new projects: The Reality of the Imaginary, with Nobel prize-winner Mario Vargas Llosa and Cervantes literature Award recipient José Manuel Caballero Bonald, on a documentary about artist Joan Castejón, expected to premier at the MoMA in 2015. The second project being with Armenian-American painter Tigran Tsitoghdzyan and renowned art critic Donald Kuspit.

In conclusion, the film shows how Spain contributed to the vast wave of emigration of Europeans to the Americas which, in the late XIXth and early XXth century, transformed the three continents. The document finally describes clearly that compared to some of the other national or ethnic groups of immigrants that came to the United States (eg, Italian, Irish, Polish) the Spaniards constituted a drop in the bucket of US immigration, stated the Spanish Benevolent Society in its press release, adding that the DVD will go on general (non limited-edition) release probably by the end of 2015.
