💬 About Cine & Debate
Cine & Debate is a community project supported by the Nørrebro Local Council and facilitated by the Central America Committee. We screen thought-provoking films from Latin America and create space for open discussions on the social, political, and cultural issues raised in the films.
Cine & Debate is a safe space, where we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants, free from discrimination or hate, regardless of background, identity, or beliefs.
We value diversity and encourage respectful dialogue where all voices can be heard. Please be mindful that some films may touch on personal or sensitive topics that reflect the lived experiences of participants or their families. We ask everyone to engage with empathy, openness, and care.
