The reopening of Phenomena Experience marks a before and after for cinema lovers in Barcelona. After half a year of works, the emblematic cinema on Sant Antoni Maria Claret reopens its doors on 2 April, promising a completely transformed experience that will impress those seeking the latest in technology and comfort.

The space has been renovated from top to bottom: new sound systems, latest-generation projectors and improved screens join ergonomic seats that invite audiences to enjoy every screening as never before. The interior redesign includes a modern lounge, renovated access points and fully updated toilets, creating an atmosphere that combines history and modernity.

Before the official opening, on 28 and 29 March, two VIP screenings will be held for those who want to discover the new features first. Tickets are already available on the official Phenomena Experience website, and expectations are at their highest following the recent recognition with the 2025 Carlo Lizzani Europa Award for Best Cinema in Europe.

The reopening programme has been designed to make the most of the new facilities. It includes cycles such as Hear This!, focused on films where sound takes on a key role, with titles such as Dune: Part 2, alongside the return of great classics. Morning screenings dedicated to emblematic sagas such as El Padrino or Indiana Jones will also be included, as will the premiere of Proyecto Salvación, starring Ryan Gosling, in 4K format and Dolby Atmos sound.

For those looking for offerings beyond the screen, Cap Butaca Buida will be held on 21 March, an event bringing together unique shows in the city and promising to surprise attendees.

Phenomena Experience has established itself as a cultural benchmark in Barcelona, combining a passion for classic and contemporary cinema with a constant commitment to innovation. Its diverse programme and carefully curated atmosphere have made the venue a meeting point for film lovers of all ages, and its reopening reinforces the city’s role as an essential destination for those who value the cinematic experience at its fullest.
