Cinema Lliure a la Platja

"Cinema Lliure a la Platja" is a free sample of independent cinema that is projected on the Sant Sebastià beach. But Cinema Lliure is more than cinema on the beach: we can say that it has become a ritual and a meeting point. It is the perfect environment to enjoy the cinema as you want and with whomever you want. From Cinema Lliure they try to give visibility to all the films that deserve to be seen. But since the production is unfathomable, they have established a filter: independent films that have passed through renowned film festivals. That is, they are a showcase for festivals.

In the selection of films, they take into account all audiences, which is why there will be a family session so that children can also enjoy good cinema on summer nights. In some sessions they also invite film professionals to offer talks and debates, and before each film a short film is shown.

In these outdoor cinema sessions and by the sea, you must take into account the following: you can bring prepared food and drinks, there are no seats, so you can use the sand as best you can or take your seat. Sessions start when the sun goes down. It depends on the day, it will be between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Access is free and reservations are not necessary.
