Cine Sin Autor aims to enhance the role of populations –collectives, associations, groups, etc. - as producers in the construction of their own audiovisual image, i.e., as producers of a new filmic image specific to the 21st century, removed from commercial and auteur cinema. In this session there will be a debate focusing on themes such as film politics, social dynamics of the cinematographic image, media and knowledge property, or the paradigm shift in the audiovisual medium.
