The 'Viu l'Estiu' cycle will feature the romantic comedy directed by Dani de la Orden this Sunday, July 26, at 10 PM. Seating is limited to 300 people, and the first 150 will receive free popcorn.
This Sunday, July 26, Castelldefels Castle will host the second session of the summer cinema cycle 'Viu l'Estiu', with a screening of the film 'Barcelona, Summer Night' (2013), directed by Dani de la Orden. The event, which will start at 10 PM, promises a night of romantic comedy under the stars in a unique heritage setting.
Following the launch of the cycle on June 28 with 'Estiu 1993' by Carla Simón, this second installment brings back a title that has become a reference in recent Catalan cinema. The film, which tells six intertwined love stories during the night of August 18, 2013, when the Rose comet crossed the sky of Barcelona, offers a collective portrait full of humour and sensitivity.
A privileged setting for summer cinema
The screening will take place at the Castell de Castelldefels, a heritage space that transforms into an open-air cinema during the summer. Doors will open at 9:30 PM and seating is limited to 300 people, ensuring an intimate and exclusive experience. Additionally, the first 150 attendees will receive a free bag of popcorn to complete the evening.
The 'Viu l'Estiu' cycle is an initiative by the Castelldefels City Council to promote culture and quality leisure during the summer months. The combination of cinema, heritage, and summer nights has made this proposal one of the most anticipated by local residents and visitors. According to municipal sources, the first session received a great response, and this second event is also expected to reach full capacity.
A diverse cast for a magical night
'Barcelona, Summer Night' is directed by Dani de la Orden, one of the most prolific Catalan filmmakers of the last decade. The film features a large cast, including notable names such as Miki Esparbé, Berto Romero, and Anna Castillo, among others. The plot, set during a magical night in Barcelona, explores human relationships with a fresh and optimistic tone.
The film, released in 2013, has become a classic of Catalan summer cinema. Its success lies in its ability to connect with the audience through everyday and emotional stories, set against recognizable backdrops of the city. For attendees at Castelldefels Castle, it will be an opportunity to enjoy a romantic comedy in an environment that evokes the same magic as the film.
Next and final session on August 23
The 'Viu l'Estiu' cycle will conclude on August 23 with the screening of 'La virgen de agosto' (2019) by Jonás Trueba. This film follows the story of Eva, a 33-year-old woman who decides to stay in Madrid during August, offering an intimate look at loneliness and self-discovery amidst popular festivities.
With this third session, the Castelldefels City Council wraps up a programme that has combined quality titles with an unparalleled setting. Residents of Castelldefels and the entire metropolitan area are invited to enjoy these movie nights under the stars, with the comfort of limited seating and the added bonus of free popcorn. The organisers recommend arriving early to ensure access, as ticket reservations are not allowed.
