## About this plan

If you love film and poetry, 'The City as Poem' is a free event that brings both together. The session looks at how a movie can read like a poem and how the city becomes a stage, a memory, and a language on screen.

The event takes place at the Francisco José de Caldas Public Library in the Suba district. Starting from one film, the group opens a conversation about the images that hint at, recall, and build new ways of living everyday life. A solid reason to watch movies with fresh eyes and leave home with new ideas.

- Free meetup at a public library in Suba
