In the digital age, where individual screens have accustomed us to consuming content in isolation, FILMIN, LA TÉRMICA and KANDALE FILMS want to offer the opportunity to recover the charm of classic film clubs, with the liturgy of cinema as a collective spectacle. Beyond a simple screening, the act of going to the cinema becomes a shared ritual, an experience that is nourished by both the cinematic work and the community that gathers to watch it.
With carefully selected films and themes, film clubs represent an opportunity to immerse ourselves in a collective journey through the art of cinema. The darkness of the room, the shared laughter and whispers, and the collective anticipation before the screen comes to life, contribute to a special connection between film lovers. In this space, the film is not just mere entertainment, but an experience that is shared and lived as part of a whole.
In these rooms, the real charm is not limited to the screening. The importance of the post-debate is highlighted as an essential component of this experience. After the lights go up, the opportunity arises to reflect and discuss the film just seen. This exchange of ideas does not only focus on the cinematic work itself, but also on the themes it addresses. Cinema, as an art, has the power to generate profound dialogues about the human condition, society and the world around us.
Because there is nothing more avant-garde than the classic. Now, FILMIN and KANDALE FILMS are turning the cultural centre of reference in Malaga, “La Térmica”, into a film club where you can see the best new films. KANDALE FILMS is organising this activity, in which each title will have a brief introduction that will provide information about the film and its author, helping the viewer to direct their gaze.

October 15: Franky five star.
Título original: Franky Five Star (vose). Year: 2023. Duration: 114 min.
Synopsis
Franky has never allowed herself to fall in love because she’s been too busy dealing with her inner chaos. Her best friend, Katja, knows about her mood swings, but Franky has never confessed to anyone that she has an old hotel in her head where four strange but adorable characters stay, who are able to inhabit her body in the real world just by using the elevator. When she falls in love with Katja’s new boyfriend, everything will get out of her control. Between the feverish universe of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the naive look of Michel Gondry’s cinema, we find this beautiful coming-of-age that takes us to the outer and inner world of Franky, a girl who faces adolescence with the doubts and frustrations inherent to this stage.
