(Published in the December Ochoymedio)

Portoviejo is a city that does not grow: spread. Development chip arriving by chance rather than causality, is not what you do not have a capital of a province should have, but not what a "simple" city should have. For years, many years, there has been talk that space is required for the diffusion of arts, for example, which does not exist, and it has recently summed up in one sentence: a theater for Portoviejo.

And if memory serves me, ever even came to put a foundation stone, which I imagine that the earth swallowed. Why, I have not agitated when these days there is talk of such construction: until you sit in one of their seats and open the curtain, I believe nothing.

And every time one of the many cultural managers who have Manabi Portoviejo resolves to do something, decide where it takes her hours because what place? Once chosen the scenario of all, you improvise. (The latter I say this from experience, when this year I was entrusted with the coordination of the sample of EDOC in this city). It was here, from this experience, the public welcomed the initiative, which required more than this, the authorities closed doors, other than the open, youth that attracted the curiosity of those who fuck with your cell phone, which made undertake a search is exhaustive, from somewhere to actually "do something."

And just in search of that "something" I found the film club, saw the simplicity of the concept of something big to transform, educate the public watching movies, presenting and commenting at the end, so simple and so boldly . We found the room, "the little theater" as he called its creator, located in a house called "scientific community" is not precisely meet full daily rate of masters to seek a formula to cure the flu H1N1, or a robot We settled life in the future, simply has an attractive park of science, where children, youth and adults through interactive games, to learn new things .. There in that house, ancient indeed is a small cinema.

In that room, on 14 November, not only opened a cinema club, but formally opened a space for the entire film takes possession of it. Suffice it to say that the opening was a success and that many people are motivated.

Now, the cornerstone of a long process of training has been placed in a city where the stones are needed, where the building becomes difficult because of the weakness of its soil, but nevertheless in need of these buildings strengthen memory, creativity, dialogue, identity, that is: the culture.
