The Collective of Aesthetic Research in Audiovisual Media (CINEMA) main purpose is to serve as a meeting point for researchers from different areas to analyze both film history and contemporary manifestations of the film made.

First, there is the aesthetic study of the audiovisual work, considering the image as receptacle trends and philosophical, social and political contradictions, and posing an investigation to establish a dialogue between cinema and other art forms.
