With five screenings at the PUCV Cineteca and a special short film session at the University’s Curauma Campus, the “Another Way Festival” will be held for the first time in Valparaíso. Cinema about sustainable progress”, a program that will offer recent works around environmental, social and economic questions and themes. The feature films and short films arrive through the Cultural Center of Spain in Chile, in alliance with our House of Studies.
The program will be distributed over two weeks, starting on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, to continue on Monday the 24th, Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th, at Cineteca PUCV (Avenida Brasil 2830, Valparaíso) with free screenings at 6 p.m.
In a special way and in collaboration with the PUCV Faculty of Sciences, the festival will extend to the Curauma Campus with a rotating exhibition in the Faculty Auditorium on Wednesday, June 19, between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., as a way of making available of the university community the contents and issues raised by the short films that make up the exhibition.
“We have considered this format, which is more user-friendly to view during snack time. It is a 30-minute session, with five very entertaining short films and where each one, with its approach, completes a look at the complexity of the environmental issue,” said Verónica Muñoz, manager of Cineteca PUCV.
The festival, which had its ninth edition in October 2023 in Madrid, responds to the challenges proposed by the organization of the Another Way Film Festival (AWFF): present high-quality, unpublished documentaries that address the pillars of sustainability (social, environmental and economic) and, as a second purpose, to inform, educate and raise public awareness about current environmental challenges.
“Science confirms the alarming rise in global warming, underscoring the urgency of addressing the climate crisis. The public’s interest in this issue is undeniable. Through the film program offered by the festival together with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), we seek to involve at a global level through Spanish and Latin American documentary cinema. We want to share new ways of telling stories about topics of maximum relevance to the public and create a meeting space between cinema and society,” comment the managers of the initiative.
This film program is organized in Valparaíso by the PUCV Artistic Cultural Linkage Directorate and the Cultural Center of Spain in Chile, with the collaboration of the Social Linkage and Sustainability Directorate of the PUCV and the Faculty of Sciences of the University.
