Rachel Hayward, Head of Film at HOME comments: "We are thrilled to be welcoming back filmmakers to present their work in person to  live audiences. ¡Viva! has always given our audiences the chance to escape to and celebrate different places and cultures across Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America, and I think we are all in need of that "cinematic holiday" right now. From our Manchester cinema screens, audiences can travel to 1970s Madrid (Explota explota), experience the atmospheric borderlands of Argentina and Bolivia (Karnawal), visit a remote coffee plantation in Antioquia, Colombia (La Roya), ramble around modern-day Seville (Nueve Sevillas), and beyond! ¡Disfrutad el festival!"
