Fiction is not exclusive to cinema, and Homer's literature produces moving images almost 3,000 years ago, based on imaginary descriptions of real objects. Think of the shield that is at the origin of the Odyssey. But would it be a fiction of the real? Is all fiction a fiction of the real? Being cinema, ontologically, a second reality, we will try in this debate to mark the frontiers of reality and fiction in the contemporaneity of moving images.
