The UAB Cinema Hall to project four films on current economic issues

The Faculty of Business and Economics has organised a cinematographic series with the aim of touching on current issues related to economics through the view and opinion offered by the film industry. During four weeks, the film series "Cinema i economia" will be offering films which talk about issues such as entrepreneurship, statistic models and economic-business decisions, financial speculations and the economic crisis. All sessions are free and will take place on Wednesdays at 12:15 pm. The films will be projected in original version with subtitles in Spanish.

The selected films take viewers to fictional worlds which are no more than a reflection of the reality we are living today. On 5 November, the focus will be on the subject of entrepreneurs with the film The Social Network (David Fincher, 2010), which will be presented by David Urbano, lecturer of the Department of Business. On 12 November, the film Moneyball (Bennett Miller, 2011) will address the issues of economic and business statistics and decisions, and will be presented by Dolors Márquez, lecturer of the Department of Economics and Economic History. The following Wednesday, 19 November, Margin Call (J.C. Chandor, 2011), will serve to reflect upon financial speculations and will be presented by Jordi Caballé, lecturer of the Department of Economics and Economic History. And the last session, on 26 November, will be the Inside Job (Charles Ferguson, 2010), dedicated to the economic crisis and presented by Xavier Ramos, lecturer of the Department of Applied Economics. At the end of each projection, there will be a short debate about the film.
