OPEN CLASS
NOVEMBER 25TH OF 2025, 1.30PM
ROOM 34 OF EP.1 – ESAD.CR
In this open class, we’ll have the opportunity to discuss with Lara Tomás and Guilherme Rocha the production and programming of two projects that have shaped the Caldas artistic and film scene. Cineclube.CR and Caldas Film Fest are events that seek to promote Portuguese cinema next to the local community, involving ESAD.CR, as well as numerous collectives from the city, in their programming. By revisiting their archives, we’ll retrospectively explore the curatorial choices that have brought films, by young filmmakers, both inside and outside the theater.
