Madrid summer film festivals – open-air cinemas, special screenings and more!

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 🙂

Fiesta del Cine; Spain-wide film festival featuring new releases and classics!

 

Fiesta del Cine begins this Monday, the 27th, and continues until Wednesday, the 29th, during which time all films in participating theatres can be watched for just 2,90€.  The event takes place across Spain in over 250 different venues, listed under Salas Adheridas on their webpage.  Films shown in each venue vary; both new and old can be found, as well as screenings in V.O. (Original Version) with subtitles, in cinemas such as Yelmo Cines and Renoir.

Fiesta del Cine is a great excuse to explore the theatres of Madrid, at the very economic price of 2,90€!
