Synopsis
Discovering the evolution of cinema is a fascinating adventure.
From the first experiments in capturing moving images to the contemporary digital age, there have been many technological advances and changes in styles, genres and forms of exhibition and consumption.

It is possible to find in the films of a particular era a direct reflection of the context in which they are set and, symbiotically, to recognise that the main film movements had a significant impact on social habits and, consequently, on the development of the language, aesthetics and narrative of future productions.

In a programme with projections that embrace and seduce us, we will travel through all these moments, where the ‘classics’ multiply - iconic works, eternalised in popular culture. Although the means of creating them is constantly changing, with successive creative and technical revolutions that reinvent and challenge conventions and pre-established limits, presenting new challenges and opportunities, the common principle remains: tell a good story.

This is a proposal to better understand and get to know this art of watching, letting your emotions be aroused by the magic of cinema.
