Sometimes one needs to escape reality.

We are inviting you on a journey of fantasy and surrealism where you can unleash your dreams and imagination.

Let’s reflect together on the meaning of life, what it means to be yourself, and the limitations and complexities of human perception and mind.

This month, we invite you at the Jesuit Cinema Club to continue the screening of the films of the Between Reality and Fiction program, which has started in July 2023.

It is just the beginning!
