With the aim of tackling the major debates in the current Mediterranean area, we are organising this cycle to disseminate the multiple and complex field of cinema related to the media, especially documentary film. We also aim to draw attention to the diverse and topical themes addressed.
We believe it is important to promote a reflection on the various processes that originate around us that need to be narrated and filmed in order to be known, to create opinion, to appeal to consciences and to situate us in new realities.
Neighbourhood relations, the situation of women in different countries, citizens' movements, the Arab Spring, immigration and the history of Casablanca are the themes explored in this cycle.
The screenings will take place at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga (C/Alemania, S/N, 29001 Málaga) at 20:00h, with free admission until full capacity is reached.
Tuesday, 21 June, 20.30h.

Synopsis:
Lina, an elderly peasant woman from Northern Italy, arrives every day at dawn at the Porta Palazzo market in Turin, the largest open-air market in Europe. There she sells her vegetables and strawberries. One day Hassan, a young Moroccan who has come to Italy in search of work, turns up. The filmmaker's camera follows these characters for seven years, during which she has constructed this priceless portrait of the human being through the work of the land.
