The auditorium of the Museum of the Roman Theater of Cartagena has been filled this afternoon to listen to the analysis that the Professor of Cinema of the San Antonio Catholic University, José María Sesé, has done to more than a hundred of the thousand films that have been set at the time of the Roman Empire, of which he affirmed that "most of them have a lack of historical rigor and some are infumable, but although cinema is not intended to be a history book, much can be learned from films, bad".
Sesé explained in this cultural event prior to the celebrations of Carthaginians and Romans that "the public will have seen around a dozen films that recreate this classic era, fundamentally those that have been seen on television, especially in Easter, but it must be emphasized that the world of cinema has also obviated great epochs and themes of the history of Rome that have not been treated within the seventh art. "
The professor of the UCAM explained that "among all the productions that recreate this period, there are some 30 films for their studied environment, documentation and historical recreation, which are what we have reviewed in this event."
The event was attended by the Academic Director of the Campus of Cartagena, Juan Alfonso García, the director of the Museum of the Roman Theater of Cartagena, Elena Ruiz, and the presentation by the president of the Spanish Association of Celebrations and Historical Recreations and ex president of the Federation of Troops and Legions of Cartagena, Antonio Madrid, who has highlighted the involvement of UCAM with the history of the city.
Before the lecture, the UCAM students made a guided tour of the building of theatrical performances built in the times of Cartagonova and its exhibit, organized by the Cartagena Campus of UCAM in collaboration with the Federation of Troops and Legions of the Parties of Carthaginians and Romans.
