The 15th edition of the Alternative Film Festival comes to foster critical thinking

The San Sebastian Alternative Film Festival celebrates its 15th edition. Since its inception, in Corcho's, its objective has been to promote critical thinking, project works on social issues and conflicts, initiate debates, generate thoughts and collectively confront problems. Thus, most projections are focused on self-managed spaces and on the street, "in this neoliberal city, to reclaim the spaces of the citizens' relationship, as a means of cinema to sewing communities and using culture as a tool of social transformation".
The projections are organized in collaboration with the social movements and the Alternative Film Festival joins the calls of these agents, placing the projection at that moment within their program. The actions defined this year are the following: on the one hand, to denounce the problems posed by the housing problem the Ehun movement, a camp will be held in Plaza Sert de la Antigua from 22 to 24 September, and on 23 September the projection of Habitar la Utopia will be projected; and on the other, on 29 September, within the dynamics organized by the Association of Neighbors of Utopia
