We will aproach filmmakers, films, artistic currents or movements which, as an answer to their contemporary reality or as a reaction to technological innovation, questioned cinematographic language, deviated from the canon or reinvented the practice and the poetics of the moving image.
Anchoring films, gestures and concepts on cinema history, this academic year will privilege works that allow us to map a history of Colonial Cinema and Cinemas of Africa, reflecting on the Post-Colonial paradigm in Contemporary Cinema.
