INVICTUS

The Offical School of Laguages, in collaboration with Mairena del Aljarafe Town Council invite you to the cinema. The film chosen for the ocassion is INVICTUS.  Twety years ago, on 11th February 1990, Nelson Mandela, a South Afrcan anti-apartheid leader, was finally realed from prison after serving a 27-year sentence in Robben Isand and Polsmoor. We thought that no better occasion than this to invite you to go to the cinema with us.
The film is based on "The Human Factor", by  John Carlin and is directed by Clint Eastwood. The film tells the true story of how President Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country. Watch the trailer here:

We are meeting on Thursday 18th February at 4.30 p.m. at the Avenida Cinemas ( Marqués de Parada Street).

Super Bowl Sunday

As you have probably heard, the Super Bowl took place on Sunday 7th February, as it always takes place on the first Sunday of February. Let's get to know more things on this sporty event.

In professional American football, the Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game and its festivities constitute Super Bowl Sunday. Over the years it has become the most-watched U.S. television broadcast of the year, and has become likened to a de facto U.S. national holiday. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the Super Bowl's pre-game and halftime ceremonies. Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest U.S. food consumption day, following Thanksgiving.
Television broadcast rights of the Super Bowl are held exclusively each year by only one major network (currently, CBS) in the United States, and the annual broadcast is famous for having the most expensive commercial airtime space of year. As a result, commercial watching during the Super Bowl has also proceeded to become one of the sub-cultures of the annual event.

This is the first spot broadcasted during the 1979 Superbowl.
