In Albox, going to the cinema will still be something you can do without leaving town. Albox Town Council has renewed the cinema service at the Sala Federico García Lorca until 2030. In recent years, the cinema has established itself as a leisure and cultural alternative for residents of Albox and the whole Almanzora Valley.
After the summer break, the screen lights up again on Friday 2 October with ‘Odisea’, which opens the season. Then comes ‘La bola negra’, and the town council plans to keep adding new releases aimed at both adult audiences and children and families.
And the second film comes with a nod built in. ‘La bola negra’, by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, reached cinemas on 25 September after winning an award at Cannes, and takes its title from a work that Federico García Lorca left unfinished. Lorca, in a way, in the cinema that bears his name.
The mayor, María del Mar Alfonso, is in no doubt: “We wanted to guarantee the continuity of cinema in Albox until 2030 because we are convinced that it is a cultural service worth maintaining and continuing to promote”. As she explained, these years have brought a “very positive” response from residents and also from people who come from other municipalities in the district.
More than a film programme
Keeping a cinema open in an inland town is also a way of giving reasons to stay. It saves families the trip to other towns or to the provincial capital to see a new release and brings life to the streets, as the mayor herself points out: “People who come to the cinema can also enjoy our shops, our hospitality businesses and everything that Albox has to offer”.
