This year sees the Museo Reina Sofía devote its summer cinema series to ways of appropriating, resisting and imagining the city from the neighbourhood understood as a community with class identity and a shared common history. Taking this main premise as its point of departure, the programme is organised into thematic weeks, in which every Friday and Saturday different films converse. Conversations with many of the participating film-makers and presentations by theorists and specialists will take place at the different screenings.

Dates: Fridays and Saturdays, until 31 August
Hour: 10pm
Location: Nouvel Building, Terraces Access: Ronda de Atocha, on the corner with plaza del Emperador Carlos V
Organization: Museo Reina Sofía
Curatorship: Chema González
Admission: Free, with prior ticket collection at the Museo Ticket Offices and online each Wednesday before each session. A maximum of two tickets per person. Screenings can be accessed with drinks and snacks
