Cinemes Girona opens film series for children’s rights in Barcelona

With the arrival of cold weather, one of the best ways to spend family time is to enjoy a movie at the theater. And if it is a free experience, even better. Cinemes Girona in Barcelona is offering 28 free film sessions until November 26, 2023.

These screenings will feature six different films and a section of short films for the enjoyment of children and adults alike.

This initiative is part of the ‘Children’s Rights Film Series’, a project that seeks to vindicate the right of every child to be himself and to foster self-esteem, especially in those who often feel little recognized or underappreciated.

It also promotes respect and acceptance of diversity. The Barcelona City Council has planned this cycle to reaffirm the right of children to live in peace.

Ferdinand

Kung Fu Panda

Manou

‘Billy Elliot’

Little stories for those who want to be’.

‘The (mis)education of Cameron Post’.

An important feature of these projections is their accessibility. All films are audio-described and subtitled, allowing a diverse audience to enjoy the stories on screen.

Free movies

These free screenings are a wonderful opportunity for families in Barcelona to enjoy quality time together at the movies. In addition to providing entertainment, the cycle promotes important values such as self-esteem and acceptance of diversity.

This highlights Barcelona’s commitment to fighting discrimination and creating a welcoming and happy environment for all children.

To attend these screenings, prior registration is required through the link provided on the ‘Film Series for Children’s Rights’ website. These sessions not only offer quality entertainment, but are also an important step towards building a fairer and friendlier Barcelona for all its inhabitants, especially for the youngest.
