MEETING. RODRIGO CORTÉS, ARTURO GONZÁLEZ-CAMPOS AND JUAN GÓMEZ JURADO

SUNDAY 8TH AT 12:00 AM. AUDITORIUM

Rodrigo Cortés, Arturo González-Campos, and Juan Gómez-Jurado, members of the well-known podcasts Todopoderosos and Aquí hay dragones, will participate in a meeting with our audience where they will discuss the beginnings of sound in cinema.

Neither of the transformations during the evolution of cinema was so important as the incorporation of sound into the cinematic art. This supposed revolution that changed forever the way to produce films and the established codes in cinematic language. Sound cinema not only influenced the industry, but it also completely changed the audience’s experience.

Born next to Novo Cinema Galego, La Cuarta Parede was founded in 2011 to fill the gap in the online film criticism scene in Galicia. It quickly became one of the main platforms for dissemination and reflection, as well as a space to discuss global independent and auteur cinema.

FICBUEU PLAYROOM

FROM MONDAY 9 TO SATURDAY 14. MULTIPURPOSE ROOM

In this 17th edition of the festival, continuing with the initiative started in the previous edition and our commitment to equality and family reconciliation, FICBUEU will once again have its own playroom.

So that families, mothers, fathers, or guardians can enjoy the festival’s program, the playroom will be available from Monday 9th to Saturday 14th, allowing attendance at all sessions of the Official Section.

Hours:

• From Monday 9 to Friday 13: 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
• Saturday 14: 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
