About the series 'Time of Memory, Memory in Time' Cinema is a territory where time folds in on itself — a place where shadows and light awaken memories we thought were sleeping. In this edition of the series, we enter a space where images become custodians of the past and seeds of the future, reminding us that Cultural Heritage is not a distant echo but a living presence that keeps on beating. Every film and documentary chosen for this series acts as an open door: an invitation to cross into stories that sustain us, to reconnect with voices, gestures, landscapes, and events that have woven the fabric of who we are. In each screening, memory takes on a body, identity is illuminated, and time — that tireless traveler — shows us that what has been lived never fully disappears, but remains, transformed, accompanying us along the road we continue to build together.
