Cineclub aims to recover the shared experience of watching films, to establish a dialogue with cinema and through cinema by bringing our gazes together. It's about creating a group—which aims to be heterogeneous—of people interested in the moving image with the aim of discovering, observing and critically discussing contemporary cinematographic representation.

In each session we will watch a non-fiction film, proposed and selected in a consensual way, which we will later discuss and debate through diverse dynamics. The debate is established through a horizontal and feminist practice, from the perspective of southern narratives, of word circulation, to generate an open space of listening and trust in which we can relate between ourselves and with cinema in a non-formal way. It's a dynamic space that, beyond the role of the passive spectator, fosters a collective reflection based on dialogue between different gazes.
