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.

Charla coloquio con Sara Mansanet: Subdirectora de Cinematografía del Palau de la Música. Directora de la Mostra València, Mediterranean Cinema.
Este documental nos invita a reflexionar sobre cómo el cine ha construido nuestra imaginación arquitectónica. A través de un viaje por lugares emblemáticos del séptimo arte, la película desvela cómo ciertos edificios y paisajes urbanos se han convertido en iconos culturales. Es un homenaje a esos lugares que, gracias al cine, habitan nuestra memoria colectiva más allá de su existencia física.
