Cinema as a social phenomenon has become one of the most innovative and enriching cultural consumptions and practices of the XX century. Clearly, cinema changes us but this transformation that film provokes is not just individual. We’re also asking for as a community. Therefore, cinema must be understood as a social phenomenon, as a cultural vehicle, as a complex device which catalyze the yearnings and portraits of a society, as a producer of subjectivities.

For the city of Chivilcoy the launching of an international film festival represents a chimerical cultural proposal. Its background is based on previous experiences that bond these individual and collective practices: shootings, film’s retrospectives, workshops, festivals and other events that take place in our community. [...]

V Festival Americano de Cinema Socioambiental

A degradação ambiental e social começa a preocupar a humanidade como um todo. Isso porque a busca por um lucro rápido e fácil gera tal degradação, afetando a coletividade em geral, forçando a cada um de nós a adotar mudanças de atitude, para que, dessa forma, possamos garantir a nossa própria sobrevivência no Planeta.

Os problemas decorrentes da ação negativa do homem sobre a natureza têm sido objeto do olhar não só do Poder Público, mas também da sociedade civil organizada, além de ter se transformado em fonte de inspiração para artistas que almejam registrar e denunciar a deterioração do ser humano e da natureza. Sendo assim, o cinema e o vídeo [...]
