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.

Colloquium talk with Ángel Castillo. Director of Mercacine, debate and film forum.
Tokio, con su deslumbrante mezcla de neón y tradición, es el verdadero protagonista de esta obra maestra de Sofia Coppola. El hotel Park Hyatt, con su arquitectura minimalista y sus espacios de transición, funciona como una burbuja flotante donde dos almas extraviadas se encuentran. La ciudad se presenta como un laberinto de signos ilegibles, donde la escala monumental y la saturación visual acentúan la soledad existencial de los personajes.
