Since its inception, the stories told by cinema have affected generations of people through their plots, their content, their images and their ideas. And it is that, if used as a source of information, this medium allows to delve into the study of society, learn about cultures and get closer to present, past and even future events. It could be said that cinema puts viewers in contact with different thoughts, norms, values or ideas.
The new FlixOlé-URJC Chair of Spanish Cinema will kick off next Friday with an official presentation at the Madrid-Vicálvaro Campus. Those attending the event will be able to learn about the objectives, activities and initiatives in the academic and cultural field that will be carried out in the FlixOlé-URJC Chair.
The act will be carried out by the Rector of the Rey Juan Carlos University, Javier Ramos; Fernando García Muiña, Vice President for Innovation, Transfer and Business Relations; Enrique Cerezo, Founder of FlixOlé; Mario Rajas, Director of the FlixOlé-URJC Chair; and Sophie de Mac Mahon, Co-director of the FlixOlé-URJC Chair.
“FlixOlé-URJC will have different training and cultural actions to publicize and analyze the history of Spanish cinema, through master classes, forums, the creation of educational and scientific content or award ceremonies”, comments Mario Rajas.
During this Friday's event, not only will it be possible to learn about everything related to this new URJC Chair, but the film Arrebato (Iván Zulueta, 1979) will also be screened and a colloquium will be held with participants in the film and experts in Spanish cinema.
“This presentation is addressed, on the one hand, to undergraduate and postgraduate students from all Faculties, as well as those enrolled in the University for the Elderly; on the other, to professors, researchers and professionals of the audiovisual media”, affirms the Director of the Chair.
URJC students who attend the presentation will receive a certificate of 0,20 ECTS from the Academic Credit Recognition Module.
