Delicatessen screens at 18h15 in the Hall of CCCB the movie Viejo Zorro, selectionated by the FIDOCS documentalist and programmer Patricio Guzmán. In Guzmán words, the documentary of Rolando Opazo “discovers and shows the energy and creativity of the ancient people” so it is “amazing because each old person is a projection of our parents and grandparents”.
