CINEMA FORUM “TANGERINES”
A new afternoon at the cinema and a new film to discover other realities.
Mandarinas tells an episode of the civil war in Georgia, a deep, slow story that reveals a character as admirable as Ivo and portrays the gradual change of two enemy soldiers welcomed in his house. The film, in perfect black and white and with very good dialogue, is directed by Zaza Urushadze. We have to see it.

CINEMA FORUM “LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE”
Cinema returns and does so, now in the fall, with imagination, good vibes, passion, freshness and a vocation for encounters. Long live the cinema!
What about “Like Water for Chocolate”? It is a film that plays with the aromas of the kitchen, that talks about women and forbidden loves, that provokes empathy, that we love it. This original and magical story, full of freshness and set in Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century, is born from the novel written by the Mexican Laura Esquivel -also author of the script-. Its director is Alfonso Arau and it has a good cast of actors, among which a wonderful Lumi Cavazos stands out.

CINEMA FORUM: “THE OLIVE TREE”
Now more than ever we find in the cinema the best ally to dream, imagine, learn about other lives and enjoy in the company of the emotions that they offer.
The sensitive gaze of Icíar Bollaín, the sobriety of the language, the beauty of the locations and the work of actors such as Javier Gutiérrez, Pep Ambrós or Anna Castillo (Goya Award for Best New Actress) prove the value of “El olivo”, an emotional film around the search for a tree and a lost world. We wait for you at seven PM.
Both the Cinefórum and the rest of AMUM’s activities have the Scholarship Program as it´s main goal. In this event, the minimum donation is €12, in cash or by deposit in the AMUM bank account.

CINEMA FORUM “BELFAST”
The cinema brings us together again with a sensitive and empathetic film, which narrates a harsh reality through the eyes of a child.
Directed and written by Kenneth Branagh, released in Spain in 2022, with music by Van Morrison, good photography, witty dialogue and unforgettable characters, “Belfast” is the story of a city, of a street split in half, of a family and a child who contemplates in amazement the change of his world. Don’t miss it, it’s worth it.
Both the Cinefórum and the rest of AMUM’s activities have the Scholarship Program as their main objective. In this event the minimum donation is €12.

CINEMA FORUM “THE ARTIST”
Finally! In a few days we will meet again around a great film, The Artist, which will make us enjoy good cinema and relive good times in front of the screen
Five Oscars, three Golden Globes, seven Baftas and six Césars endorse a fascinating film made by and for the cinema. Directed by Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist is a beautiful silent story, with an air of homage and nostalgia that will take us to the origin of this wonderful art and to the change, devastating for many, that the arrival of sound brought about.
Do not forget that both the Cineforum and the rest of AMUM’s activities have the Scholarship Program as their main objective

CINEMA FORUM “EL OLVIDO QUE QUEREMOS”
Fall begins and AMUM looks back at the cinema with a film loaded with nostalgia, drama and admiration. A tribute to a father, to a singular man who will always be present thanks to a great book that becomes an image in a wonderful film.
The beginning of a sad poem attributed to Borges inspired Héctor Abad Faciolince to give a title to a book, “The forgetfulness that we will be”, full of love and tenderness. The extraordinary film by Fernando Trueba deals with that forgetfulness and that memory that lasts to the beat of memory where, following the narrative thread of the novel, he puts on screen the life and death of Héctor Abad Gómez, a heroic, brave, vital being , to whom he gives life masterly form, (that accent of Medellín, the “paisa”, perfectly obtained, that expressiveness, that knowing how to be), the brilliant and versatile actor Javier Cámara.
We have to see it. We wait for you.
The film is available on the Netflix platform and can be seen on the day and at the time that best suits.
The debate will be on Zoom on September 22 at 6:30 p.m.

CINEFORUM “ROMA”
One more month AMUM looks to the cinema and to our cinema forum, to these two gratifying activities that bring us closer to other realities, raise issues of interest and, above all, invite us to speak, comment and see ourselves, for the moment, on screen .
Our option, “Roma”, is a moving, hard, risky, beautiful film… Relying on magnificent images and a precise story, its director, Alfonso Cuarón, looks back at his childhood memories and with them makes a great story that takes us to Mexico City, to a middle-class neighborhood. An environment portrayed with so much love and precision that it immerses us in a life and characters -what a good interpretation- that move between tenderness and tears. Pure cinema.
Three Oscars: best director, best foreign film, best photography; and two Golden Globes: Best Direction and Best Foreign Film, are part of the long list of awards that adorn the film.
The film is available on the Netflix platform and can be seen on the day and at the time that best suits.
The debate will be on Zoom on June 23 at 6:30 p.m.

CINEMA FORUM “HER”
May gives a different movie, emotional, current and with futuristic airs. It is a love story that surprises, drags and captivates by its novelty and originality.
We are talking about “HER”, that great film directed by Spike Jonze, with the interpretations of Joaquín Phoenix (master), Amy Adams and Scarlett Johansson giving voice to a female operating system called Samantha.
Among his various awards, the Oscar for the best original screenplay in 2013 stands out.
We are waiting for you on ZOOM and we hope to repeat a debate as interesting and lively as last month on the 26th May at 6.30PM

CINE FORUM “CALL ME BY YOUR NAME
Our monthly, unavoidable appointment that we keep through thick and thin because cinema is that great ally that unites and entertains; it causes laughter and tears, and wide horizons.
AMUM’s choice for this month is CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, a vibrant film, full of life, light, joy, emotion, music and pain; a delicate portrait of the growing attraction between Oliver and Elio. We will see and address a complicated issue that calls for an open look and calls for an interesting debate.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, played by Timothée Chalamet (Elio) and Armie Hammer (Oliver) and with a six-handed script (it won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay), the film exudes beauty, sensuality and emotion.
We can’t stop seeing her. We wait for you.
THE MOVIE IS AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX
The debate will be on April 27 by zoom

CINEMA FORUM “THE HELP”

CINEMA FORUM: «VÉRTIGO»(FROM THE DEAD)
Alfred Hitchcock and his genius, the art and beauty of Kim Novak and the interpretive perfection of James Stewart have motivated us to choose a masterpiece, Vertigo (From the Dead), to enjoy good cinema and immerse ourselves in a story that is moves between psychological suspense and film noir. And as we speak of suspense, we are not going to say anything so that the intrigue is assured from the first moment.
