"Scientific Cinema" cycle, from January 20 to 22, 2025

"Cinema can be one of the most powerful tools for scientific dissemination because it combines the power of language with the power of image and the appeal of music, and all of this together can capture the viewer’s attention, not only by transmitting content but also by provoking feelings and generating empathy and commitment from the viewer to scientific culture and conservation." (Alberto J. Redondo Villa, Professor at the University of Córdoba)

The Zamora Public Library, in collaboration with some educational centers in Zamora, has organized a Scientific Film Series in which three films that stand out within this genre can be seen.
