The posters of ‘Nits de Cinema’ of the Universitat de València, as well as the ones of ‘La Cabina’, have always stood out by their meticulous and innovative design. This year’s image, created by artist Julia Valencia, takes us into the depths of the most exuberant nature. On this very year, marked by lockdown, this edition’s image equates cinema with an oasis where you can take shelter, rest and let yourself be rocked by these beautiful stories. This is what the two scheduled film seasons intend: ‘Cinema Conscient’ and ‘Largo Verano en Europa’.

‘Cinema Conscient’ proposes a social, cultural and political reflection throughout a selection of the most renowned films of 2019 by committed filmmakers such as Ken Loach, Céline Sciamma, Oliver Laxe or the much-missed Agnès Varda. ‘Sorry We Missed You’ by Loach and ‘Varda by Agnès’, Agnès Varda’s last film, are essential films to understand the cinema of both filmmakers.

The cinema advisors ‘Las Entendidas’ cooperate for the fist time with the Cinema Club and offer ‘Largo Verano en Europa’, a film season that proposes an approach to cinema stories that use summer as a driving force to create vital changes. The outskirts of Paris or hot Madrid are the settings of this film season that includes ‘Things to Come’ (2016) by Hansen-Løve and ‘The August Virgin’ (2019) by Jonás Trueba.

All films will be available at the online film platform FILMIN, who collaborates with #NitsdeCinema2020 with the draw of free subscriptions to their catalogue so that you can watch all films offered. In the recently launched Instagram profile of the Universitat’s Cinema Club you can find all the information, rules and conditions of participation.

Additionally, extraordinary guests will present these movies. These interventions will be broadcasted on La Nau Cultural Centre’s YouTube Channel at 8 PM, where you will be able to watch them afterwards. Among the participants: the vice-president of the Association of Women Filmmakers and Women in Audiovisual Media (CIMA), Virginia Yagüe (July 10th); the winner of the Goya Award 2020 for Best New Director, Belén Funes (July 13th), or the Director of the San Sebastián International Film Festival, José Luis Rebordinos (July 16th).
