The aim of this series The Jewish World on the Big Screen. Cinema as a Tool and Pretext is to address the issue of cinema related to the Jewish world. From the creation of Hollywood as a film industry to films that show the harshness of the Holocaust, cinema has been a powerful tool for telling the stories, cultures and identities that make up the contemporary Jewish world. The series aims to explore where this association between cinema and the Jewish fact comes from, and what network of connections we can find between the two. More information here.

Last April, Josep-Maria Terricabras, professor of Philosophy at the University of Girona, founder of the Ferrater Mora Chair, professor much loved by generations of students and an inescapable public reference of Catalan civil society in recent times, left us. On October 9, the University of Girona, through its Philosophy Department and Studies, the Faculty of Letters and the Ferrater Mora Chair itself, paid tribute to him in the Aula Magna Modest Prats of the University of Girona. Here you can see the report, photographs and videos of the event.
