The Aula de Cinema of the Universitat de València is a space for creation, reflection and training dedicated to film culture, where the university community and society are interrelated. From the Vice-rectorate for Culture and Society, the Aula seeks to promote a comprehensive educational experience through film, while promoting critical reflection and the dissemination of audiovisual heritage in a context of innovation and social inclusion.

We promote the creation of networks between audiovisual professionals, students and the community in general, creating spaces for dialogue and learning about film and its capacity for social transformation.
