Once this common language is established, you will assimilate all the necessary protocols for carrying out a film work, whether it is typical of a pre-production, filming or post-production phase. Immediately, you will experience the creative process within the framework of a so-called institutional cinema and then explore the counterproposals developed throughout History.
