Cinema and dialogue
A day, a film, a colloquium: live the Cinefórum experience, online or in person, chatting with co-director Dorottya Zurbó and positive psychology facilitators, to explore current issues through dialogue and reflection.
An initiative to reflect on Buddhism and its values in the current context
Within the framework of the Buddhist Film Festival of Catalonia, the First Cinefórum is a joint initiative of the Catalan Coordinator of Buddhist Entitats (organizer) and the Dharma Gaia Foundation (official sponsor) and has the collaboration of the Buddhist Film Foundation (BFF), in addition to the support of the Barcelona City Council and the Government of Catalonia.
Harmony
We promote dialogues that respect diversity and reject all forms of discrimination.
Interdependence
We recognize that everything is interconnected, that our actions impact others and the world.
For all audiences
You don't need to know about Buddhism or cinema to be here. We open the doors to anyone who wants to enjoy a good film and get to know different perspectives on themes and emotions that resonate with us as humans.
Online and in person
Choose how to participate. The screen or the room. The dialogue is the same.
Screening and talk
A film, a voice that explains,
and then your question.
Discover new cultures
Going to the movies is traveling without moving, discovering new cultures and ways of living through each story.
