There are ways of shaping a city that don't run through the big headlines, but through something far more everyday and far more valuable: sitting down to think together.

That's the idea behind the return of Diàlegs amb Ciutat, CineCiutat's cycle of open talks. The format is simple and radical at once: someone explains what they know, the audience asks, and the conversation is built between everyone. No rush, plenty of context, and a real appetite for understanding the world right next to us.

This year brings an important change. We're not the ones choosing who speaks: we're opening a call so that people propose the topics and the voices themselves. If you have a subject in your hands, a job, a piece of research, a well-documented obsession, and you want to share it, the door is open.

The possible subjects are broad: science and technology, psychology and sociology, cinema, art and literature, the historical and cultural heritage of Mallorca, history, philosophy, politics. Or whatever you feel like bringing. The list is a guide, not a limit.

There will be five sessions, always on a Saturday: 19 September, 17 October, 21 November, and 12 and 19 December. Each talk lasts around an hour and a half, approximately.

Diàlegs amb Ciutat aims to be exactly that: a small civic laboratory, rigorous and close at hand, for rethinking our surroundings through culture and critical thinking.
