Albéniz Cinema will once again host

It will also include an introductory workshop on film language for the over 55s, a book presentation and a meeting with figures to be announced in the near future.
This cycle aims to highlight classic cinema in original format, continuing the work carried out throughout the rest of the year with great public support by the Albéniz Cinema Film Library, which will host all the screenings. This year, The Golden Age is marking the centenaries of
