Cinema Club organises the Morlaix (2025) pre-release, the new work of cinema artist Jaime Rosales.
Not only the film will be played, the director will be there to share details on his creativ process and the work’s theme.

Universitat de València’s Audiovisual Communication doctor and professor and Cinema Club’s manager Manuel de la Fuente will intervene as well, along with the Valencian youth that will reflect on the film and the current cinema scene.
Jaime Rosales tells a story of sensibility and depth through Morlaix. Its main character, Mélanie Thierry, goes through the director’s reflection on human relationships and contemporary challenges. The event is free to attend, providing a unique chance to enjoy the film and speak with the author.

Morlaix revolves around a teenagers’ group in their last year in highschool in a small French British hometown. Attractive and honest Jean-Luc, a transfer student from Paris with rather poetic interests, will wreck their ecosystem. Jean-Luc, Gwen and her boyfriend Thomas will form a love triangle soon enough. The entire group decides to go to the movies. The film, however, is vastly relatable to their lives. It happens in Morlaix town, and its characters are the same and played by the same people. Once outside, they discuss the movie without a word of perturbation after seeing themselves on the screen. Gwen rewatches the film twenty years later. Many things have changed in her life. She is married, living in Paris and working as a pharmacist. Although this time, the film ends differently.

The film’s trait is giving its actors and actresses the chance to improvise in an analogic aesthetic, far from the current digital tendencies. The film language alternates between formats: 35mm Black and White, 16mm in Color and 70mm Unit Still Photography.

Free entry, limited capacity.
