After touring various communes in the Valparaíso Region, the Quilpué Audiovisual Cultural Center arrives for the first time in Algarrobo with its programming through the Chilean Film Cycle aimed at seniors and the general public.
Regarding this, Alexis Sánchez, Coordinator and General Producer, states: “Being in Algarrobo for the first time excites us a lot, because it allows us to reach new territories where cultural activity around the dissemination of Chilean cinema is scarce. That is why we invite the entire community to be part of this cycle and be enchanted by Chilean cinema.”
All screenings will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Community Center located at 1160 Brasilia Street. Admission is free and discussions will be held after the screenings.
The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage through its Program to Support Collaborating Cultural Organizations and has the collaboration of the Municipality of Algarrobo and the National Service for Senior Citizens, Senama.
