From different latitudes and perspectives, the films of this thirteenth edition of MUSOC forcefully portray and denounce those hierarchical, oppressive or unjust realities that make it difficult to dream of alternatives.
But far from defeatism, once again in January, we propose a careful selection of films grouped into six thematic sections and several special screenings that will travel to ten Asturian councils to encourage reflection. Works of fiction and non-fiction that will allow us to empathize with the thousands of refugees who request asylum each year, discover feminist discourses in different parts of the globe or demand the rights of all people in the LGTBIQ+ community, the end of genocide in Palestine or that “doing trade unionism is not a crime”.
And that's not all. This year we are launching a section called Broken Silences, which aims to bring together those works that aim to raise awareness about the increasingly necessary democratic memory. Added to this is MUSOCeduca, which runs until May with screenings and other parallel activities in a good number of venues.
teaching centers.
In the face of the incessant noise of images and constant misinformation, in the face of the flagrant violation of human rights in this business world, MUSOC once again offers a space for meeting cinematographic art, activism and critical thinking. A space to continue dreaming.
