To promote a critical and open perspective on film, to disseminate film proposals that document educational practice and to generate a space for debate and exchange of educational models, these are the objectives of this cycle. The films chosen deal with subjects such as freedom and life in society, authority and conduct, creativity and the figure of the teacher. Each screening is accompanied by a text reading that contextualises the film and encourages debate.
