The language of cinema has been in constant transformation since its inception. Currently, we live in an increasingly homogeneous mediatized cinematography according to the model imposed by Hollywood. In contrast to this, we find ways of narrating such as «El Cine ha Muerto», «Axel» and «Cinema» where an ode to cinema is proposed that moves away from the dominant trend and approaches the intimate vision of each author.

In “El Cine ha Muerto” by Juan Benitez Allassia, the viewer undertakes a journey through memory in which past and present are intertwined. It is an intimate and nostalgic portrait of a small movie theater that the author frequented during his childhood.

Santiago Carlini, for his part, presents his short documentary “Axel”. In this artwork we enter his imagination, through the purity of his gaze the main character shares his vision of cinema and its veracity.

Finally we find “Cinema” by Telmo Ribeiro, where it is discovered that perhaps in this game between reality and fiction lies the essence of the human condition through fragments of films.
