Cycle 'Cinema Classroom 2025-2026'

The history of cinema is also the history of its projections. In the hall, where images settle, this narrative takes shape, program by program. What are a few inches of celluloid lined up on a shelf? An archive on a hard drive, is it a movie? Unlike other arts, cinema only presents itself in motion. Film archives preserve works beyond the object: a unique, fleeting, and unrepeatable performance activated in the encounter between an artifact (the film), projection devices (the apparatus), and the space that hosts them. It is this set of relationships that we preserve and share, and our gesture contributes to defining what will remain in memory. The programming, and particularly the Cinema Classroom, consists of an exercise in renewal and problematization of the writing of this history. Because it involves searching for and discovering forgotten, neglected, or overlooked objects, and because it experiments with new relationships between films that can break with the norms of canonical domination. An exercise, political by definition, that allows us to put into perspective values, knowledge, ideas, and decide what is seen and in what context. Once again, we propose a possible history of cinema. Necessarily lacunar and deliberately heterogeneous, it diverges from past editions and those to come, as it is a space to question what is contemporary - which is not necessarily current - bringing the works of the past to life in light of what today challenges us. Time, the transformations of aesthetic criteria, and research will continue to transform the narrative. Welcome to the Classroom! Schedule: Wednesday at 5:00 PM. Price: General admission €4.
