‘Gandules’
This summer, Barcelona’s Contemporary Culture Centre (CCCB) is waiting for you to go to one of the many, varied and mainly free activities they have organised so you do not have to stay at home, bored.
The most attractive is “Gandules”, a free, night-time film programme in the open air, held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout August and starting at 10 p.m.
The big screen on the Pati de les Dones will, for example, allow you to walk from Munich to Berlin with Oskar Fichinger, accompany Bob Dylan on his 1965 tour of England and rewrite the Odyssey through the eyes of Jean-Luc Godard in a film starring Brigitte Bardot.
However, the CCCB has some other prizes in store in August. You can travel from New York to Tokyo via an audiovisual installation and discover that there are hardly any differences between East and West.
The Centre will also let you cross the borders between the Cameroon and France, scale the wall between Israel and Palestine to go to school, learn about the exile of refugees and cross the sea between Ocean Drive in Miami and Malecón in Havana through the exhibition Fronteres, with photographs by Patrick Bard, Olivier Coret, Manuel Cruz, Michel Foucher and Marie Dorigny, among others .
All that with the fresh songs of summer in the background, offered you by the free Músiques en Procés programme, with groups from the local indie scene like Le Pianc, Sons of Bronson, Tarantula, Cuchicruz, Silvia Coral y los Arrecifes and Pocket Selectors.
