Goya-winning films now shape Madrid's cultural agenda

Madrid's cultural pulse quickens after the latest Goya Awards gala. The films that have shaped the conversation in Spanish cinema can now be watched from home, transforming many Madrileños' plans for this weekend. 'Los domingos', the night's big winner, and 'Sirât', which swept the technical categories, are now available on Movistar Plus+, along with other notable titles such as 'Sorda', 'La cena' and 'Los tigres'.

For those looking to broaden their horizons, 'Maspalomas' joins the offering on both Movistar Plus+ and Filmin, while 'El cautivo', the Cervantes adaptation, is on Netflix. The Ibero-American film 'Belén', recognised at the gala, can be watched on Prime Video. Thus, the city adapts to a new wave of award-winning cinema, accessible without leaving the living room.

However, not everything is within reach of a click. 'Valor sentimental', one of the most eagerly awaited European titles, can still only be enjoyed on the big screen. The same is true of 'Ciudad sin sueño' and 'Decorado', which retain their exclusivity in cinemas. For those who prefer the cinema experience, Madrid's listings continue to offer weekly releases: from 'La novia' and 'Hoppers' to 'El mago del Kremlin' and 'Amarga Navidad', March arrives packed with options for every taste.

The arrival of the Goyas on streaming platforms not only makes the best Spanish cinema more accessible, but also redefines how Madrid experiences culture. Neighbourhoods fill with conversations about films watched at home, and cinemas retain their appeal for those seeking the ritual of the big screen. Madrid is already beginning to move in that direction, combining tradition with new ways of enjoying the seventh art.

Movistar Plus+ has established itself in recent years as the leading platform for newly released Spanish cinema. Its commitment to adding the most awarded titles to its catalogue after the Goya gala has changed how Madrileños access audiovisual culture. The integration of Spanish, European and Latin American cinema into its offering has made the platform a meeting point for those wanting to keep up to date without giving up the comfort of home. Thus, the city adjusts its rhythm and its conversations around what is watched, discussed and recommended in each neighbourhood.
