Abstract

The Cineclub of the University of Salento is part of the Third Mission activities of the Department of Cultural Heritage, and of the University of Salento in general. Students from the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Disciplines of Performing Arts and Music and the Master's Degree Course in Performing Arts and Audiovisual Production take part in it, supported by lecturers in the L-ART/06 area.

The purposes of the project, which include the promotion of film culture and audience development, have similarities with those stated in the statute of the Fondazione Apulia Film Commission, and have fostered the relationship between these two social actors, making it possible to hold the Cineclub programming at the Cinelab – “Giuseppe Bertolucci” of the Cineporto of Lecce since 2015. The paper will present and analyze the structure of the “Cineclub Universitario” and its operation, the activities carried out over time and the impact on the territory.
