It is therefore organising this cycle in order to disseminate the multiple and complex field of cinema related to the media and especially documentary film, supporting the TresMed meeting, which is being held in Malaga from 1 to 3 June. The aim is also to draw attention to the diverse and topical themes covered.
Nowadays it is of utmost importance to promote a reflection on the various processes that originate around us, for this reason they need to be narrated and filmed, to be known, to create opinion, to call consciences and to situate us in new realities.
Family situations in conflicts, citizens' movements, immigration and the history of Casablanca are the themes of this cycle.
