Consolidating an activity that combines our usual commitment to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cinema with the traditional summer sessions of open-air screenings, the Fundación Tres Culturas is organising the third edition of its Summer Cinema, an event that also responds to the widespread demand from an audience that has welcomed this proposal with enthusiasm.
This cycle, which will take place every Monday in July.The film, which is a film festival, gives us the opportunity to meet the cinema of these regions in four events in which a sense of humour is the predominant feature. From the relations between Israelis and Palestinians seen through the lens of a battle against a telephone company in No mobile phoneThe story of the efforts of musicians to give a concert with a woman in a country where they are forbidden to sing in a female voice. Half moonand themes such as old age, euthanasia and friendship in The farewell party and understanding between people of different religious and cultural backgrounds in the The rabbi's cat.
The Andalusian Gardens of the Foundation are once again the ideal space for our summer cinema, prepared to accommodate the needs of the public (including an ambigú). As in previous editions, the films will start at 22.00 hours, with the sunset.

The rabbi's cat
Directed by Antoine Delesvaux and Joann Sfar (France, 2011, 100 minutes).
Synopsis
Based on the award-winning comic strip of the same name (Ecumenical Jury Prize for Comics in 2003 and Eisner Award in 2006), this film takes us to 1920s Algiers, where Rabbi Sfar lives with his daughter Zlabya, a talking parrot, and an irreverent, playful cat who eats the parrot and starts to talk. Not only that, but he becomes a scholar of his master's religious beliefs, critiquing them as only a cat could... Together they embark on a fun and eventful journey across Africa in this splendid screen adaptation.
