Maryanne L. Leone’s discussion of María Cristina Carrillo Espinosa’s documentary La Churona: historia de una virgen migrante(2010) is an exemplary and engaging interdisciplinary piece on the represented realities of Ecuadorian Madrid. Pilar Martínez-Quiroga’s analysis of María Reimóndez’s O club da calcetais a lucid introduction in a Galician context of the literary and feminist possibilities or ‘rurban’ space. Megan Salesman and Javier Entrambaguas, on the independent films Si nos dejan(Ana Torres, 2003) and Raval, Raval(Antoni Verdaguer, 2006), combine purposeful arguments on chaos, containment, immigration and disruption with sharp filmic analysis.
