A Spanish drama set in Tangier opens the 21st season of the Weston Foreign Film Series on Monday, Nov. 9. The Arts Council of Greater Weston and the City of Weston will screen six international films this season, one on the second Monday of each month from November through April, at AMC Weston 8. Each film plays twice, at 4:45 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., in its original language with English subtitles.

Season tickets for all six films cost $48 and went on sale Oct. 12. Single tickets are $10 at the Arts Council's table in the theater on the day of each screening, as long as seats remain.

Who Runs It

The Arts Council of Greater Weston is a volunteer-run nonprofit that has been staging cultural programs in the city for more than 20 years. Besides the film series, its calendar includes Weston World Fest, Chalk in the Park and Celebrate the Arts Day. The film series is a joint program with the City of Weston, which also lists the November screenings on its own events calendar.

The format has stayed consistent over two decades: a weekday matinee-style early show for those who prefer daylight hours, a later show after work, and a lineup that moves across continents from month to month.
