Good Music and Good movies Under the Sky
The XIV edition of Sala Montjuïc is here, from July 1st to August 5th 2016: 16 nights of movies and live music in the unique setting of the Santa Eulàlia moat at Montjuïc Castle. The selection of concerts and films can be enjoyed each Monday, Wednesday and Friday of July and the first week of August. A screen of 166 m2 using HD digital projection is used for films.
Much More than Open Air Cinema
Sala Montjuïc is a full experience: each session includes a live concert and short film in addition to the feature length film in the original version. The picnic is an essential element: attendees can bring food and drink from home or enjoy the eco-picnics and dry bar on site. Sun loungers are available to rent, but you can also bring your own folding chairs and blankets.
The Movies: 16 nights to Enjoy Recent Releases and Classics
Sala Montjuïc 2016 highlights five titles that marked a before and after in different film genres:
