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.

Synopsis
A sharp look at the relations between the Palestinians in Israel and their Jewish neighbours through the story of Jawdat, a young man who only wants to pass his university entrance exams, talk on his mobile phone and find a girlfriend (even if she is Christian or Jewish). The problem comes when he is dragged into a battle against an Israeli mobile phone company that wants to put up an antenna in his village. The rebellion is led by his own father, a character who sets the irreverent tone of this comedy.
