Movistar Plus+ is preparing to welcome a new thematic channel that will be available this coming month of February, which is about to arrive. On this occasion, this ephemeral channel is dedicated to one of the most original and prolific minds in cinema.
Woody Allen (1935) is one of the most prolific directors of the seventh art. Throughout his long career he has directed fifty films and that is why there is so much to choose from (and well, on many occasions), that Movistar has chosen him to star in the new Movistar Plus + channel.
New channel on Movistar Plus+
On February 15, the new Woody Allen pop-up channel will premiere on M+, which will commemorate the career of this legend. The New York director is one of the most important in the history of cinema and his particular vision has not remained in the background in what he has done throughout his career.
Movistar Plus+ will have this pop-up channel running in which we will have the perfect opportunity to revisit – or even discover – part of its filmography. The channel will be available to customers of the blue operator until March 3 on dial 15 of the television platform. From then on it will become The Oscars for M+, in which some of the American director’s films could also appear, since the director has 4 Oscars, one for direction and another three for best original screenplay.
Specifically, we will be able to see a selection of 30 films from the approximately 50 films that Woody Allen has signed as director. There will be some of his greatest hits, including Manhattan, Annie Hall and Taking Harry Apart, as well as the other Academy Award winners, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris. The complete list of movies that you can see from February 15 to March 3 is as follows.

Visiting the genius
The programming dedicated to Woody Allen will not stop with the premiere of Woody Allen on M+, but we will also be able to see the premiere of A Day in New York with Woody Allen, an interview conducted by Spanish director David Trueba, who gets closer to his partner of profession to exchange points of view on the seventh art.
«Talking in New York with Woody Allen was an opportunity impossible to refuse. Reviewing his career and listening to him reflect on his films is always interesting. Now that he faces the end of his long career, with more than 50 years almost one film per year, it is an opportune moment to talk about cinema with him. His filmography is linked to our best viewer experience. I found him relaxed and open to chat. It was a very pleasant time and I am sure that many fans will be able to enjoy it,” says Trueba.
In this case, this documentary, which will also take a walk through the real sets that have been used in some of Allen’s films, premieres on February 23, 2024 and has a duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
