CINE FORUM
CENTRAL STATION OF BRAZIL
Thursday, 2 October at 6:30 p.m.
At the home of Eloísa Sánchez-Amillategui
Cycle: Ibero-American Cinema
With this film, Central Station of Brazil, Walter Salles invites us to discover a Brazil where there is no samba, no spectacular beaches, no tourist attractions. It tells marginal stories through the masterfully handled relationship between a boy searching for his father and a retired teacher who scrapes by writing letters for a living. We won’t reveal any more. We’ll just remind you that it’s a great story. We hope to see you there.
We will watch the film, discuss it – it has a lot to say – and finish with a delicious snack prepared by everyone.
As always, we would appreciate a minimum donation of €15, which will go towards our Scholarship Fund.
Couples and friends are also welcome. We have row 0 available for those who cannot attend.
Information and reservations:
684 45 35 50 (Marité); 645 34 03 50 (Cristina); 699 30 86 16 (Maísa).

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
NELLIE “PINK” BLY
Elizabeth Jane Cochran (May 5, 1864, New York – January 27, 1922), better known by her journalistic pseudonym Nellie Bly, was a journalist in the 1800s who is considered the pioneer of gonzo (undercover) investigative journalism.
Nellie Bly was reading a column in the Pittsburgh Dispatch when she came across a series of sexist comments. This event led her to question the power of journalism to perpetuate violence, so she wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper pointing out his responsibility.
