This research aims to reflect on young university students’ knowledge of reference cinema through a case study of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). Taking Bourdieu’s transfer of embodied cultural capital (ECC) as a starting point, the methodology combines two unprecedented tools. First, a selection of representative films of the cinematic styles that meet the demands of academia, critics and the public. This selection has been grouped into three general categories —institutional canon, mannerism and avant-garde— and analyzed via the questionnaire completed by 725 university students, a representative sample of all students of the aforementioned university. Secondly, the design and application to data processing of the cultural profile variable, which quantifies and distinguishes the four levels of ECC accumulation of the respondents. The results evidence Bourdieu’s hypothesis applied to the cinematographic field by observing a correlation between cultural profile and minority film consumption. Namely the ones with higher ECC are also the ones who constitute as the major consumers of canonical, mannerist and avant-garde films, contrary to the students with a low cultural profile who are placed outside the minority film audience. The study ultimately provides, taking the French system as a reference, the keys to designing educational policies that guarantee equal access to film culture from childhood.
