In this edition of Cinema a la Fresca 2026 and throughout the month of July, We will explore the fascinating relationship between cinema and architecture. Cities are not just stages; They are characters that breathe, They condition the emotions of their inhabitants and reflect the contradictions of our time. Through these seven films, We will travel through metropolises that become emotional labyrinths, dreamscapes and mirrors of the human condition. Each film invites us to read the city as an architectural text where all kinds of stories are written.. loneliness, the beauty, the strange and the absurd inevitably mix, as in life itself. From the hand of different film experts, architecture and art, We will visit the different cities that they themselves have chosen to animate some summer movie afternoons in an educational and relaxed way..
PRIOR REGISTRATION NECESSARY.

Los Angeles, pero no el de Hollywood: el de los barrios periféricos, los centros comerciales cutres y las pistas de bolos. Los Coen retratan una ciudad desangelada donde la arquitectura de pequeña escala y la expansión suburbana definen una estética del desencanto. El apartamento del Nota, con su moqueta gastada y sus muebles de segunda mano, es un templo de la desidia existencial:
la casa como refugio contra un mundo que no tiene sentido.
