This year other venues are getting in on the act, along with the popular open-air screenings at Sala Montjuïc, including Nau Ivanow, Ateneu Barcelonès, Centre Cívic Cotxeres de Sants and L'Illa Diagonal. All films are under €10 (and some are free!), so check our list below, choose your flicks, grab a blanket and some picnic food, and head outside to see a film under the Barcelona sky.
