'CSIC de Cine' returns in September with an open-air film program at CSIC venues in Madrid and Barcelona. In the capital, screenings will take place on the central campus steps, addressing topics such as caregiving, historical memory, Alzheimer's, and Tourette's syndrome. The selected films are Yo no moriré de amor (September 11), Incontrolable (September 18), and La cena (September 25).
In Barcelona, the terrace of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) will host the screening of Los tigres on September 18, a thriller that will serve as a basis for a discussion on oceanographic research. All sessions will be free, include popcorn and water, and will be preceded by a meeting with researchers.
The cycle is designed to be accessible to people with various disabilities, including visual, auditory, reduced mobility, and autism. Sign language interpreters, live subtitling, audio description, and magnetic loops will be provided in the architecturally accessible venues. In Madrid, an anticipation guide and a self-regulation room will be available.
The program in Madrid begins on September 11 with Yo no moriré de amor, winner of the Golden Biznaga award. The pre-screening discussion will feature medical chemistry specialist Ana Martínez and demography expert Diego Ramiro, moderated by Carmen Guerrero, to discuss the medical and social implications of Alzheimer's.
On September 18, Incontrolable will be screened, based on the life of John Davidson, diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. The subsequent meeting will include neuroscientist Ignacio Obeso and content creators Jordi Rodríguez Moreno and Alicia González Mayoral, moderated by Cristina Delgado.
The final session in Madrid, on September 25, will coincide with the European Researchers' Night and will present La cena, a comedy set in the post-war era. The preceding discussion will bring together historian Gutmaro Gómez Bravo and science history specialist Ana Romero de Pablos, moderated by Eduardo Actis, to debate historical memory.
In Barcelona, on September 18, Los tigres will lead to a discussion on marine work and scientific diving. Participants will include Jordi Sorribas, director of the Marine Technology Unit (UTM-CSIC), and ICM-CSIC researchers Aurora M. Ricart and Jordi Solé.
Tickets are free and require prior reservation via Eventbrite. The Madrid sessions have a capacity of 410 seats and will begin around 8:00 PM with the discussions, followed by screenings after 9:00 PM. Access to the central CSIC campus is at Calle Serrano, 123.
In Barcelona, the capacity is 120 seats. Doors will open at 7:00 PM, with the meeting at 7:30 PM and the screening after 8:30 PM. The ICM-CSIC is located at Paseo Marítimo de la Barceloneta, 37-49.
'CSIC de Cine' is a CSIC outreach project aiming to raise social issues. In Barcelona, it is supported by the CSIC Delegation in Catalonia, the ICM-CSIC, and the UTM-CSIC. In Madrid, Agua del Teleno collaborates.
