Film programme

This film programme reflects the legacy of modernity and its complex reception in contemporary artistic practices through a selection of audiovisual works by some of the artists included in Modernologies, as well as films directly related with certain works shown in the exhibition, thereby establishing a dialogue between them and the work of filmmakers belonging to the historical avant-gardes. In fact, in addition to being a complementary programme, it constitutes another section of the exhibition in auditorium format. It is organised into five sessions that reflect most of the exhibit's key concepts, such as those questions that define the European tradition of modernity in the domains of aesthetics and architecture, but also those of political theory and life.
