Description

The IV International Competition for the best amateur film and the I Congress of amateur filmmakers, held in 1935, are witnesses to the cultural vitality and modernity of republican Catalonia. This event emphasized cinema as a tool of artistic and documentary expression, and recognized the role of hiking as a driver of knowledge of the territory and social cohesion. Amateur cinema, often linked to cultural and educational entities, made it possible to capture everyday reality and spread values ​​such as freedom, creativity and participation. This document reflects Catalonia’s connection with European cultural currents and its commitment to an accessible, open and committed culture with the country.
