Metropolis

In association with the exhibition After the End of the World, we are proposing a film forum series that will offer, as in previous editions, an opportunity to delve deeper into the intersections between cinematographic creation and essential aspects of the processes of production, circulation and knowledge management, particularly of scientific and technological knowledge.

In this case, the idea is to examine how a broad set of actors, spaces, discourses and inter-related practices, including politics, academia, activism and the media, interact in the processes of social, cultural and scientific construction of nature and, therefore, of our position within or in relation to it.

We will explore questions on climate, ecology, sustainability, urban planning, health, food, resources, responsibility and future projections, at three discussions with specialists in these areas and also in the fields of communication, film and the history of science.

We recommend watching the full films before the sessions, as these will focus on analysing and commenting specific aspects of each of the films.

You can find all of the films on Filmin.
