Program Overview

Entreactos: A Project of Cinema, Thought, and Memory

Entreactos proposes an expanded encounter around cinema and contemporary image: a programme that articulates screenings contextualised by invited filmmakers and specialists, together with a workshop on listening to context and film creation.

Film Selection

The selected films are situated images that both enunciate and question, that do not close off their meaning, but rather open up spaces for reflection both on their own materiality—that of the image—and on the issues and themes they address. After viewing them, we will reflect on issues such as:

• The industrial past and present
• Capitalism
• Precariousness and its construction of subjectivities
• Rituals
• Family and emotional relationships
• Filmic correspondences
• The diary
• The archive and the reappropriation of materials
• The blurred boundary between documentary and fiction

Film-Essay Workshop: From Listening to Narration

In parallel with the screening sessions, there will be a film-essay workshop in which we will explore the power of images, while constructing our own narratives by recovering untold stories or collectively rewriting others, also highlighting the power of audiovisual media to generate community.

Workshop Details

• Location: Alcoy Campus UPV
• Workshop Description: A listening process in which the participants themselves will define the nuclei and agents of interest (people, buildings, places…) for the documentary, related to the history and intangible heritage of Alcoy and its surroundings.
• Objective: To bring to the surface and make visible minor stories that have not been told or to which other layers of meaning can be added, and to share references and contemporary audiovisual resources for the construction and reading of documentaries and other film pieces of a more essayistic nature.
