Cinema Tonala Other type of movies

ince films 20 minutes to other lasting 5 hours. At the International Film Festival of the UNAM (FICUNAM) there were for all tastes, but not everyone likes. And is that these films carry a complication that makes it difficult to determine what they are. Indie movies? Maybe experimental? ¿ High culture ? Defining it is often as difficult as watching it, so I decided to go to the Cine Tonalá, a famous gathering place for young fans of art and its manifestations, to see if anyone there could do it.

Faithful projector of the FICUNAM from its beginnings, the Cinema Tonalá shares with the same objective. Even having experienced a significant rise, the festival has not been given to the masses and continues to advocate for an independent and experimental cinema; Called "author". In the case of the emblematic room, it should be noted that this is not his only mission and that the name of cinema is small. Among its activities we can find theater, workshops, concerts and in case of hunger, a bar-restaurant. Its constant activity and movement encourages the stragglers with a Berlin feeling that something always happens there.

It is strange to enter a place like the Tonalá Cinema and see the billboard in a week where the main topic of conversation were the Oscars and their jewels.

Do not. People should not expect to find education in entertainment. They will be able to see new things, entertain themselves, feel, but not educate themselves through the cinema. It is more a means than an end, "Rodriguez replied. And, as a medium, the style, the language that each director uses, becomes especially important. This film of which Rafael speaks, is known as independent because of his financial freedom. Not receiving large amounts of aid, but small producers, another independence is discovered: the creative.

We can say that freedom, creativity and interpretive exchange are factors that define the so-called independent cinema, which turns out to be experimental in many cases. Thus, it attracts a nonconformist and imaginative public like Rafael, who if he could make an experimental film, would place it in a bagger of mangos, place where previously worked.

As the place is in Tierra Caliente, Michoacan, I would have to deal with narcos. Yes, mangos and narcos [...]. It would be a problem of extortion. As if the handle were the new national currency. It would be cool. Click here for Latest Movies Online.

While Rafael smiles and unravels the scenes one by one in his head, I think that perhaps the commercial cinema in its effort to say everything with words, takes away the faculty of imagining what could be things, the daily events in which the filmmakers Stand out.
