Colita (August 24, 1940 – December 31, 2023) systematically photographed everything that happened around her —sharing unique moments, events, artistic performances, presentations, exhibitions, film shoots, concerts—, defining herself above all as a photojournalist and an “unrepentant curious person”.

15th Greek Film Cycle (VOSE). Nobody

Date: Friday, January 16, 2026 at 18:00 p.m.
Location: Assembly Hall of the Old School of Commerce.

A romantic drama that blends elements of Romeo and Juliet with The Odyssey, set in Athens with second-generation immigrants. Goran (Russian) and Julia (Albanian) are two teenagers with dreams and ambitions, trying to escape the circumstances of their upbringing. Everything becomes complicated when their paths cross and they fall tragically in love amidst the ethnic conflict between their friends and families, who are prone to settling disputes with illegal street races in Athens. As the tension mounts, Nikoleris captures the different cultural nuances, but also the constant danger of simply spending time with each other. (FILMAFFINITY)

Each participant will take their own terrarium home.

Ana Rossi and Jesús Mañeru - ENCAJA2

Date: Sunday, January 18, 2026 at 20:00 PM.
Location: Jovellanos Theatre.

The duo is such a simple yet complex way of making music that it presents beautiful challenges for the performers: it highlights listening skills, quality, experience, complicity, and respect for the musical work of its members. A living music that beats to the rhythm of the present moment and what it offers.

This format, which is so much more than the sum of its two parts, is the one chosen by the Argentine singer and composer ANA ROSSI and the Navarrese percussionist and double bassist JESÚS MAÑERU to tackle a repertoire full of beauty.
