Ramón Lluis Bande gave a talk entitled "Filmer la mémoire, écrire l'Histoire", accompanied by UGA historian Nicolás Sesma. The lecture was open to bachelor's and master's students in the Spanish course.
The documentary creation students (L3 Spanish) then benefited from the director's advice during the editing and documentary creation workshop.

This "documentary creation" course is in itself an innovative pedagogical experiment designed to involve students in a project where creation, research and the application of knowledge - in this case, the tools of film analysis - are woven together to better appropriate their knowledge and get them off the beaten track of purely theoretical learning, also encouraging them to think differently about disciplinary content, in this case the recent history of Spain.

It also opens them up to the professional world, insofar as the documentary creation they have to hand in at the end of the course demands a professional investment: planning, organization, group work and deadlines to be met.

A meeting with a filmmaker on whom they have also worked during the course supports these perspectives of contact with the professional world, but also of links between cinematographic creation and history, and encourages them to understand these subjects as experiences rooted in reality.
