A good auteur film is a date with the artist in its purest form: two hours in an armchair, in silence, watching something that someone decided deserved the screen. You come out with three things: a new story, a different cinematographic language and, almost always, a question you didn't have before. Here five cinemas.

How to build your appointment with the artist from this list
Julia Cameron's rule about the appointment with the artist It's simple: once a week, two hours, no phone, no goal. You don't have to visit all 10 sites on this list. You have to visit UNO, and dedicate two hours to it. The difference between tourism and an appointment with the artist is exactly that: slowness.
This week, choose one of the locations above. Block two hours on your calendar on a specific day. Bring a notebook and pen. Go. Stay. Look. Writes. You come home with creative material you didn't have before. That's the promise of Julia Cameron's method, and it works.
The complete course, free
12 weeks in Spanish to apply Julia Cameron's method — including two hours of weekly appointment with the artist.
