Forging Ties with Young People

For a number of years, l’Alternativa, Cinema en curs and Moving Cinema have been working in tandem to forge closer ties between the festival and young people. Thanks to Cinema en curs and Moving Cinema—and hours of hard work by dedicated teaching staff—we have been able to set up projects to encourage young people to discover and analyse a range of different styles of filmmaking and then write texts and give public presentations about the films they have watched.


Young Programmers

The Joves Programadors Moving Cinema are group of 19- to 20-year-olds who get together every week to watch and discuss work by European filmmakers. They also programme screenings at the Filmoteca de Catalunya, a number of Barcelona film festivals and several cultural spaces. At this year's l'Alternativa, the Joves Programadors are presenting three sessions:

  • Telenovela Greyscale, by Filip Martinovic (feature film in l’Alternativa Official Spanish Films), in conversation with Filip Martinovic
  • Ponette, by Jacques Doillon (feature film in l’Alternativa Parallel Satellites: Carla Simón), in conversation with Carla Simón
  • Jouer Ponette, by Jeanne Crépeau (feature film in l’Alternativa Parallel Satellites: Carla Simón), n conversation with Carla Simón

The group of Joves Programadors Moving Cinema at l’Alternativa 2021 is made up of Daniel Benítez, Carla Claret, Carles Forner, Lara Guerra, Núria Jordán, Tomàs Malavía, Maria Antònia Miró, Georgina Mulet, Judit Ortuño, Pau Peláez and Mar Teixidor.

This initiative forms part of the European Moving Cinema project, led by A Bao A Qu.
