Cinemas

Films are usually dubbed in Castellano, though there are some cinemas which offer films in their original version each week.

We’ve picked a selection of the cinemas which offer this service, all of them well worth a visit. But remember it’s original version so check the language!

This cinema now shows more original version (marked on the listings as VOS) films than anywhere else. It is one of the best places to go and check out the latest releases. The cinema has 16 screens with confortable seats. It is located in a shopping centre, Mercado Fuencarral, where you can have a drink and some tapas at modern and chill out places that combine good music with cool shows.

For a more realistic cinematic experience, take a trip to Valencia’s IMAX cinema. It is part of the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences on the dried-up bed of the River Turia. The design representing “Eye of Wisdom” made by the award winning Santiago Calatrava, represents how visitors see and learn more of the world through the digital projections and 3D films that are screened inside. The IMAX films are usually documentaries on natural phenomena, covering topics from the depths of the ocean to the peaks of the Alps.

Just off Avenida Aragon this great little cinema shows a mixture of more prominent European cinema and some Hollywood productions in their original version with Spanish subtitles.

ivac-filmoteca-cinema-valenciaIVAC – Filmoteca

The Filmoteca is one of the oldest cinemas in Valencia. It offers a selection of classic, contemporary, avant garde and traditional films, from around the world and much closer to home. The cinema is subsidised by the government of Valencia. This cinema bases its programme of films on already released films. These are usually included in seasons that correspond to an actor, a director, a theme, a cinematic tendency or a different school. These can be either foreign or Spanish productions. It’s worth noting that it is one of the few cinemas that screen short films. It is, at the same time, one of the most active cinemas during the annual Muestra de Cine del Mediterranni (Mediterranean Film Festival) and in summer it has an outdoor cinema in front of the Palau de Musica in the riverbed all the way through August.
