The Sala Montjuïc evenings of open-air cinema are here again
For the eleventh year running, the moat of the Castell de Montjuïc plays host to the largest open-air cinema in Barcelona
Already a well-established and unmissable event in Barcelona’s summer calendar, Sala Montjuïc sounds the starting pistol for its eleventh edition with the screening of Blancaneu (Snow White), by Pablo Berger, in a special session that includes an interpretation of the film soundtrack by an orchestra of 25 musicians.
The cycle of films includes classics such as West Side Story, one of the most famous and iconographic musicals in the history of celluloid, Citizen Kane, Orson Welles’s masterpiece and Billy Wilder’s comedy Avanti!.
The series also includes more recent comedies, such as the French film The Untouchables, a good-humoured and personal film that is one of the more popular comedies in recent years and which eventually became the biggest box-office draw in history for a non-English-language film. Other comedies included in the series are The Guard, Moonrise Kingdom and We Have a Pope.
