Vigo´s Media Studies Faculty is promoting the candidacy of Chano Piñeiro to be featured during the 2006 Day of Galician Letters on May 17th, as a tribute to his work to incorporate the Galician language into filmmaking.
Chano Piñeiro, who made most of his films between the 70s and 80s, is considered along with Carlos Velo as one of the most important Galician filmmakers.
