Mucho (+) que cine (Much more than cinema) is a non-profit association founded on 2000.  Its aim is to design and develop educational projects using cinema as a tool for cultural transmission.

Mucho (+) que cine focuses on cultural diversity, the environment, sustainable growth, equality between men and women and support for cultural diversity, all of which are addressed in the projects.

Cinema as the Art of our century is an effective and suggestive tool to present and inform about different universal subjects, provoking thought and debate. Cinema as a tool to understand different cultures, ethnic groups and ways of life.

The pro-European vocation of the association gives all its projects a common denominator: Transmission of European culture.

Projects
