How do you combine your love for surfing and film here in Madrid? The Madrid Surf Film Festival of course! Enjoy watching films that show off the passion for the ocean, the sport of surfing, and the good times that come out of the beach culture. Cineteca Matadero hosts this three day festival in hopes of connecting film directors, professionals, athletes, and fans through the picture on the big screen.

Do you like bicycling or film? Then don’t miss the chance to combine the two in the Bicycle Film Festival in Madrid going on March 10-13. Get the chance to view shorts, documentaries, and full-length films. This festival has been going on for over 15 years so come out and celebrate the art of film while enjoying the world of bicycling!

Summer in Madrid is great if you like film, because you’ll find tons of open-air screenings and the city’s theaters and museums offering special deals (i.e. tickets cost around 3€). For example, Madrid’s Palacio de Cibeles sets up a big screen underneath its glass roof. The cultural center, Conde Duque, and the French Institute put on films in their courtyards.

Sorry we didn’t get around to writing up a list of all the best places to see movies in Madrid this summer, but thankfully, our friends at Spotahome have done all the work for us 🙂

Here’s Spotahome’s article: Madrid’s best summertime cinemas!

Tuesday nights just got a whole lot better now that some of history’s most iconic films are being played on the big screen! This event is perfect for all film lovers and anyone who simply wants to stop being made fun of for not having seen classics like Saturday Night Llive (1975), for example. From now until March, come to the cinema to enjoy films from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s! Up next, Ridley Scott’s Thelma and Louise (1991)!

If you enjoy food and film, then this festival is for you.

You can see the full list of movie times and showings as well as get tickets here.
