The social film festival La Ventanilla indiscreta has premiered four social experiments with seniors to break down racist prejudices.

Whoever is free of prejudice, cast the first stone! With these eloquent words, the President of Jovesólides, Lourdes Mirón, inaugurated the social film festival La Ventanilla Indiscreta, which brought together nearly 200 elderly people from Xàtiva, Novelda, Quart de Poblet and Alboraia at the ABC Park Cinemas in Valencia.

Mirón explained that La Ventanilla Indiscreta, which aims to promote citizen participation of the elderly in mitigating social problems in their own municipalities, has had 365 participants in this edition developed between 2023 and 2024, in addition to the 1,549 participants in previous editions of the project.

During the event, four social experiments on Islamophobia, migration, gender and decent employment, starring the residents of these municipalities, were premiered in a hall of the ABC Park multiplexes. In addition to participating in these audiovisuals, the population of each municipality actively participated in four seminars to raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and in four discussion forums where the issues addressed in the videos were discussed with experts.
