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 Santiago Álvarez. Director del Festival literario València Negra
Denis Villeneuve transforma Toronto en un paisaje opresivo y claustrofóbico. La arquitectura brutalista de la ciudad —con sus torres de hormigón, pasadizos subterráneos y espacios institucionales fríos— se convierte en metáfora de la fragmentación de la identidad. La repetición de formas geométricas y la paleta cromática amarillenta construyen un universo donde lo urbano se vuelve prisión psicológica.
