Action Cinema
Action>Cinema is an initiative driven by the coordinator of Catalonia Film Festivals (CFF), in collaboration with the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation and the Department of Culture. It promotes audiovisual media "as a tool for building an informed, critical, and mobilized citizenship for a fairer world."
Cinema on the Margins: A Gaze Towards a Better World
This year's project consists of eleven sessions featuring screenings, presentations, and cineforums:
- Presentation of sessions and discussions on films led by a local NGO along with the filmmaker, where possible, or a film expert.
- Presentation and discussion of films, some of which are funded by the ACCD to increase visibility and reach.
- The film selection is done in collaboration with NGOs and partner organizations specifically chosen to contribute to the development of a critical and responsible citizenship. This uses film and dialogue as tools for knowledge transmission to broaden perspectives and as a strategy for social transformation in rural and specific community settings: elderly, youth, and rural populations with a specific focus on "Development Education for Critical Citizenship."
