Our members

There is going to be a deep change in the cinema in our equipment, but there is also insecurity stemming from the changes in the distribution system and internet piracy. All things can change, but the values of cinema, the magic of narration, the poetry of the Seventh Art, is unalterable. Our century, despite the boom of the media, will be a century of loneliness. Only cinema can unite people.
