The title Cinemaway covers an annual series of lectures, a video essay competition and an exhibition that examine the presence of public works in cinema.
The Cinemaway title is taken from one of the companies that brought the simulated train ride experience to Spain around 1909, which had been seen at the Exposition Universelle in Paris (1900) and, especially, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904) with the Hale’s Tours experience. The word Cinemaway aims both to create a route, a ‘way’ to approach the theme covered by the subtitle, which changes every year, and to invite the audience or visitors to be swept ‘away’ for a pleasant cinematic experience.

Consciously or unconsciously, the cinema has witnessed and imagined the development of urban mobility and its impact on physical space, be it historical (retrospective, present and future) or fictional, providing an incomparable framework for reflection on "Moving in space, move in time". In this line of analysis, the second edition of “Cinemaway” appears.

Competition rules (in spanish)

From the very beginning of cinema, there has been a close relationship between this art and trains, both of which were seen as an expression of modernity. For this reason, the theme for this first edition is ‘El tren en el cine’, or ‘Trains at the cinema’. The event is part of the ‘Mediterranean Corridor’ project, organised by the Valencian Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Territorial Planning.

From the very beginning of cinema, there has been a close relationship between this art and trains, both of which were seen as an expression of modernity. In fact, the second film made by the Lumière brothers was L’arrivée d’un train en Gare de la Ciotat (1896).
This first edition explores the theme indicated by the subtitle: ‘Trains at the cinema’. The event is part of the ‘Mediterranean Corridor’ project, organised by the Valencian Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Territorial Planning, and includes a series of lectures, a series of films, a video essay competition and an exhibition.

Monographic websites

The Cátedra Demetrio Ribes centre has worked on various projects to raise awareness of Valencia’s public works heritage that have been exhibited through small monographic websites with an enormous wealth of documents, audiovisual resources and educational materials.

150 years of the Alicante-Madrid railway

Website created to commemorate and represent the 150th anniversary of the arrival of railway to Alicante through various themes relating to the event.

Transport Museum

Website for the Virtual Transport and Territory Museum with a range of multimedia content that provides information on the most interesting aspects of the history of engineering.

100 years of aviation

Other projects

Beyond its many publications and exhibitions, the Cátedra creates and organises other activities and materials to raise awareness of Valencia’s rich heritage of public works and transport among society. This section displays just some of these resources.

They are created exclusively to complement their respective projects. Their purpose is to make our work more accessible to the public in a quick, simple way, through basic, everyday interactive and technological materials.
