Afilm field trip to Girona’s Museum of Cinema
Afilm students travel to the beautiful historic city of Girona to visit the world-class Museum of Cinema.
Afilm students had the opportunity to take a stroll through the history of cinema and cinema technology at the Museu del Cinema – Colleccio Tomas Mallol, as part of their studies.
“The Museum of Cinema-Tomàs Mallol Collection is a permanent non-profit-making institution. It is open to the public as a place where everybody can participate in scientific, cultural and leisure activities, working to serve society and its development. Its mission is to encourage an understanding and knowledge of the history of the moving image and the cinema through conservation, research, interpretation and the permanent exhibition of the Tomàs Mallol Collection and other collections or objects that may be acquired, and through the organization of activities and the provision of services that enable museum visitors and users to interact with it.” Museum del Cinema
“The origins of the Museum of Cinema date back to the purchase by Girona City Council, on 28th January 1994, of the Tomàs Mallol Collection of objects from the pre-cinema era and the early days of cinema. The Museum of Cinema opened four years later in Girona, on 8th April 1998, and was the first of its kind in Spain, comparable with regard to the quality of its collection and exhibitions project with the most important film museums in Europe. Its aim is to become a dynamic centre for everything related to the cinema and visual shows, on the basis of a continuous programme of activities and services addressed to a very large potential public, guaranteeing its local, national and international recognition.” Museum del Cinema
