Session of international amateur cinema at the Filmoteca de Catalunya, Aula de Cinema programme - 4/10/2023

The session will show a small selection of international films from the 1930s to explain a film movement that is still searching for its own history.

To speak of amateur cinema is to refer to a way of approaching cinema without limits or commercial objectives. It is characterised by the impetus of countless filmmakers who, from the 1930s onwards, filmed with a small format camera (9.5 or 16 mm), wanting to capture and publicly share a vibrant world through fiction and documentaries. They extended the history of cinema beyond the commercial screen an in Catalonia, this phenomenon had international repercussions.
