Utrecht, 12 June 2024 - Starting June 24th, in celebration of Pride Month, the company will screen various LGBTIQ+ themed films. From August, these screenings will take place monthly at Pride Nights, on the first Thursday of each month. With this initiative, Cinesa reinforces its commitment to inclusion and diversity.

June is coloured with the hues of the Pride flag, and Cinesa, the leading cinema exhibition chain in Spain, is working with OUTtv to offer recurring Pride Nights, a series of film events dedicated to the Spanish LGBTIQ+ community. These events will feature films specially selected to give voice to the stories and experiences of the community. From June 24th to July 4th, coinciding with Pride Month, Cinesa will promote a special programming focused on LGBTIQ+ stories. This initiative will continue from August for the rest of the year, with screenings taking place during Pride Nights, held on the first Thursday of each month.

“Pride Nights not only aim to offer high-quality entertainment, but also form part of Cinesa’s commitment to the LGBTIQ+ community. For us, it is very important to promote inclusivity and convey the message that in our cinemas, all sexual orientations and gender identities can enjoy the best films in an environment of respect and diversity. Moreover, with Pride Nights we will offer very interesting programming with stories about the community that will make us reflect,” said Ramón Biarnés, Managing Director of North and South Europe for Cinesa.
