A Bao A Qu / Cinema en curs

A Bao A Qu is a not for profit cultural organisation which develops projects which link culture, art and education. Founded in 2004, A Bao A Qu promotes creativity by placing arts professionals in schools with the aim of creating strong, sustainable links between young people and culture, art and most significantly, with cinema.

The organisation started its journey with Cinema en Curs in 2005 (www.cinemaencurs.org). Since its inception it has also ran other projects which allow the discovery of the art, such as photography courses and the placement of creative artists in residence in schools in Barcelona, and of cinema. Teacher training is one of the priorities of the organisation.

Cinema en Curs has, since its inception, worked with le Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse, with several groups taking part in the project each year. Founded in 2005, Cinema en Curs is an pedagogical program both of and with cinema which operates to two principal objectives:

• To encourage active engagement and discovery of cinema children and young people. To allow them to develop as critical, knowledgeable spectators, with curiosity and awareness of the diversity of forms of cinematic work, especially the work of European and International film makers.
• To explore all educational potential offered by the practice of watching and making film across all the years of school life.

Working closely with Cinema en curs, A Bao A Qu also directs, and participates, in European projects promoting approaches to teaching film.

• Moving Cinema – Approaches, strategies and tools for the active discovery of European Auteur Cinema for young people. (Since 2014-15)
• European Framework for Film Education (2014-2015)
• Grundtvig - Development and implementation of audiovisual teaching methodologies for adult educators (2013-2015).
• Comenius Regio – Discovering and building on local and European heritage through the creation of audiovisual materials. (2012 – 2014).

Filmoteca Valenciana

The Filmoteca Valenciana was created by decree of the Generalitat Valenciana in January 1985 with the mission of studying, classifying, cataloguing and conserving the Valencian audiovisual heritage. 

The Filmoteca Valenciana is in charge of carrying out the tasks of recovery, restoration, cataloguing and conservation of material related to cinematography and audiovisuals. The Filmoteca Valenciana is also responsible for the study and dissemination of audiovisual heritage and film culture.

To this end, throughout the year it schedules regular screenings in the cities of Valencia, Castellón and Alicante, manages the Filmoteca d'Estiu, offers courses, seminars, workshops and film education screenings for all levels of the education system and regularly publishes the magazine Archivos de la Filmoteca and other publications. It also has a library and video library consultation and loan service at its Documentation Centre.

The audiovisual collections of the Institut Valencià de Cultura are made up of more than 35,000 titles, which include a wide range of Valencian, Spanish and foreign film productions from all periods, many of which have a high historical and cultural value. Since 1995, the Filmoteca de la Generalitat Valenciana has been a full member of the FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives).
