Where the concierge points people first
- Verdi Park — The Verdi cinemas in Gràcia are the old standby for original-language screenings, with Spanish subtitles. Arthouse and the better end of the mainstream, and a neighborhood full of bars for afterwards. (41.4045, 2.1576)
- Renoir Floridablanca — Near Sant Antoni, and like the Verdi it screens mostly in original version. The program leans towards European and independent releases. (41.3819, 2.1623)
- Cinemes Girona — A small cinema in the Eixample that shows films in their original language, useful when the multiplexes only have a dubbed session. (41.3996, 2.1646)
- Filmoteca de Catalunya — The public film archive's cinema in the Raval. Retrospectives, restorations and seasons rather than new releases, at modest prices; the program runs by the month. (41.3785, 2.1709)
- Sala Montjuïc - Cinema a la fresca — The summer open-air cinema in the moat of Montjuïc castle, running in July with a picnic and live music before the film. Films are shown in original version with subtitles. (41.3641, 2.1652)
- Zumzeig Cinema — A cooperative cinema in Sants with an independent program and a bar. Small, and the sort of place that holds post-film talks. (41.3774, 2.1451)

Look for the letters VOSE
Spain dubs by default. A film listed without letters is usually dubbed into Spanish, and some sessions are dubbed into Catalan. What you want is VOSE (versión original subtitulada en español) or VOSC (subtitled in Catalan) on the listing; VO alone means original language. The big chains such as Cinesa run some VOSE sessions but fewer, often late. Subtitles will be Spanish or Catalan, not English, which matters only if the film is not in English.
Questions people ask
Which cinemas in Barcelona show films in English?
Verdi Park, Renoir Floridablanca, Cinemes Girona and Zumzeig Cinema all screen mostly in original version, so English-language films are shown in English with Spanish or Catalan subtitles. Check each listing for VOSE.
How many cinemas are there in Barcelona?
Num's directory maps 94 entries under cinemas in and around Barcelona, from multiplexes to single screens and the Filmoteca. A number are production companies or festivals rather than places to watch a film.
What does VOSE mean on a Spanish cinema listing?
Versión original subtitulada en español, the original soundtrack with Spanish subtitles. VOSC is the same with Catalan subtitles.
