Cine en V.O.
Sep 8
Aunque mucha gente no lo sabe, todavía puedes ver películas en versión original en el espacio que se llamaba “Cine Cité”.
UGC abandonó los pisos superiores del “Mercado de Campanar” a finales de abril. Pero ahora Yelmo Cines (una de las cadenas de cine más grandes de España) lleva el negocio y ofrece películas en las mismas salas en las que antes lo hacía UGC.
¿Lo mejor de todo? Yelmo ha apostado fuerte por la V.O. (e incluso más que lo hacía UGC), ofreciendo casi todos los grandes estrenos doblados en español y en V.O.
Para más información (ubicación, cartelera, etc.) o para reservar entradas, visita la página web de Yelmo Valencia.
Even though it is still a secret to some, you can still see films in “versión original” in the venue where “UGC Cine Cité” was formerly housed.
UGC left the top floors of the “Mercado de Campanar” at the end of April. But Yelmo Cines (one of the biggest cinema chains in Spain) bought the business and is now screening movies in the same screens previously used by UGC.
And the best of it? Yelmo has decided to show a variety of films in “versión original” (and perhaps even more than UGC did), offering almost all the big releases in both the dubbed Spanish version and “versión original”.

Festival València Escena Oberta 2010
Feb 5
The 8th edition of Valencia International Festival of Scenic Arts will run from 10-21 February.
This year’s displays include film, music, street theatre and dance, in venues ranging from the Jardines de Viveros to Teatre el Musical.
While the festival has something for all tastes, I’ll be taking the chance to see Man on Wire. This Oscar-winning documentary gives an insight into the world of Philippe Petit, the French tightrope walker who in 1974 crossed the space between the World Trade Center towers balancing on a wire suspended illegally between the buildings (IVAM, 17-18 February).
