One of most expected, award-winning documentaries of the last decade in the often tumultuous and by-and-by narrowed Spanish-speaking film market has been "Little Spain", now for sale in DVD. The film, defined by American critic Donald Kuspit as 'a kind of masterpiece' (see links below) contains 61 minutes of video interviews interwoven with a unique display of archival footage and old photographs -not to be seen in any other doc imitation, for they were purchased by the production company as they were found on the winding path traced by the investigation around West 14th St in Manhattan- that compellingly tell the history of the Spanish and Hispanic immigration process in New York City, sharing memories of immigrants and sons of immigrants, along with other extras such as a gallery of old images of Manhattan's first Spanish Neighborhood and the nearby, now ultra-chic Meatpacking District. Robert Sanfiz tells the story of the neighborhood and of La Nacional. Do not miss it! If you are interested in purchasing a DVD please contact us at dvd@meatpackigproductions.us.

The Bangkok News, Thailand:
"Little Spain: โลกเล็กในแมนฮัตตัน"

แต่น้อยคราวนักที่จะมีเรื่องราวของ "สแปเนียร์ด" หรือชาวสเปนให้ได้รับรู้กัน

ทั้งที่ ภาษาสเปนก็ใช้กันอย่างแพร่หลาย เป็นอันดับสองรองจากภาษาอังกฤษด้วยซ้ำ

แต่อย่างที่ทราบ มันเป็นภาษาที่ติดตัวมาจากพลเมืองฮิสปานิคที่มีรากฐานเดิมมาจากประเทศทางแถบลาตินอเมริกา อย่าง เม็กซิโก, คิวบา, เปอร์โตริโก ฯ เสียมากกว่า

เมื่อเร็วๆ นี้ อาร์เทอร์ บาลเดอร์ (Artur Balder) ซึ่งเป็นทั้งนักเขียนและผู้กำกับหนังชาวสเปน เพิ่งนำสารคดีในชื่อ "Little Spain" ออกฉาย โดยเขาเดินทางเข้าไปเจาะลึกยังชุมชนชาวสเปนที่ลงหลักปักฐานในนครนิวยอร์กมาตั้งแต่คริสศตวรรษที่ และมีการตั้งบ้านเรือนธุรกิจร้านค้าอยู่ใกล้ชิดกัน ในย่านถนนสายที่ ช่วงระหว่างเซเวนธ์แอฟเวอนู กับ เอชต์ธแอฟเวอนู ในพื้นที่ที่เรียกกันว่า "ลาวเออร์ แมนฮัตตัน" นั่นเอง

Also sprach der Filmregisseur Artur Balder
über seine Dokumentarreihe "Little Spain"

Anne Götzinger / New York

Sie trugen meist nicht mehr als ein Bündel mit den wichtigsten Habseligkeiten bei sich. Hinter ihnen lag nicht nur eine strapaziöse, rund zweiwöchige Schiffsfahrt über den Atlantik, sondern auch ein Leben in Armut - oder in Angst vor politischer Verfolgung. Vor ihnen lag die Freiheitsstatue mit der in die Hohe gereckten Fackel und die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben.

Millionen von Europäern wagten das grosse Abenteuer der Emigration in die USA, um im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten ihr Glück zu suchen. Zwischen 1892 und 1954 passierten über zwölf Millionen Immigranten die Einreisebehörde auf Ellis Island im Hafen von New York. Darunter auch Zehntausende Spanier...

Among Gwyneth Paltrow’s and Brad Pitt’s common gossip in the Entertainment section of the United Press International, stands up a positive yet well documented film comment and review by Rafael Bernal that defines our production as a most “valuable addition to New York's immigration history”, “bringing with it the expected color and excitement of immigration, along with a few advantages over other American Dream documentaries”, adding ultimately: “Balder successfully illustrates the moods, flavors and excitement of recreating a far-away home”, with a “magnifying-glass perspective that serves to build an original story arc.”

REDACCION NUEVA YORK, NOV. 2010 – JOSE ANGEL ABAD

Nueva York ha sido y es una ciudad de emigrantes. En la torre de Babel de Manhattan hay un barrio en el que hace 40 años sólo se hablaba español. Se conocía como "Little Spain". Ahora, el documental del escritor y cineasta Artur Balder rescata la memoria de todos esos españoles.

Consulate General of Spain in New York: "Artur Balder brings Manhattan´s Little Spain to big screen"

The little-known story of Spanish migrants who settled in Lower Manhattan in the 19th century and by the mid-20th century had formed one of New York's most deeply rooted communities is the subject of a new documentary titled Little Spain. In the film, Spanish American director Artur Balder traces the journey of those who left Spain in search of a better life in the Big Apple.
