## About this plan

Bogotá's Cinemateca brings back its Between Pages and Frames series, a gathering that mixes literature and film to see the city in new ways. This session features the workshop 'Narrative Mapping: Film, Literature, and the City', designed for anyone curious about how Latin American writers have told the story of their cities through stories and movies.

The format invites you to take part, not just watch. Throughout the session, you work with excerpts from novels, scripts, and films that have helped map neighborhoods, routines, and urban conflicts. The goal is to use those narratives as tools to read the place where you live.

If you like cultural events in Bogotá with a critical edge, this is a solid pick. Entry requires payment. Check the price and sign-up details on the official source.
