Arte y Cine. 120 años de intercambios

The La Caixa social programme, in collaboration with the Cinémathèque Française, brings to Madrid this exhibition that talks about the exchanges and mutual influences between cinema and the rest of the arts throughout history. Another aim is to show that cinema can be part of an exhibition as well. At last we can compare films on the walls of a museum like we compare works of art in other disciplines. In addition to showing the aesthetic benefit that all areas of art have got from cinema, especially as a promoter of the avant-gardes, this exhibition aims to illustrate cinema's continuing vitality during the most recent contemporary stage, which started in the 1980s and carries on to today.
