Cinefórum
«¿Qué hay, Pardal? Espero que por fin est año podamos ver la lengua de las mariposas.»
Manuel Rivas, opening line of ¿Qué me quieres, Amor?
The Cinefórum is the social activity involving the Madrid PolaFlow group as well as external members (everybody is welcomed). Each person presenting a movie should give a small introduction. A short discussion takes place after the projection.
We order the chairs as decided by random sampling.
Careful: we changed the order from FIFO to LIFO.
