Cinelmotion

Europe and Latin America, two different ways of telling stories

Actors, producers and directors share with us their different experiences when making cinema in both continents. Different sources of inspiration, learning and working enrich each continent’s cinema.

Trans-Cinema shows how simple stories, whether real or fictitious, when complemented with excellent performances can communicate the different landscapes, characters, way of living and approaching reality within each continent.

Welcome to Trans-Cinema, where the film is narrated by its own protagonists.
