MOOBY Aribau

A central Eixample cinema near Universitat, MOOBY Aribau screens some films in original version and keeps a big old-style 300-seat hall, Screen 5, that suits blockbusters as well as festival nights.

The story

Part of the MOOBY Cinemas group, which also runs MOOBY Arenas on Gran Via, the Aribau cinema sits just off Universitat in the Eixample, handy for an after-work film. Its rooms deliver strong image and sound, and English-language films sometimes play undubbed with Spanish subtitles. Screen 5 is the main draw: a big-screen hall of around 300 seats in the manner of older city cinemas, well suited to blockbuster releases. The cinema also doubles as an event venue. It hosts the In-Edit film festival and has screened a documentary on Barcelona's rock history from the dictatorship years to the present, as well as a Jodorowsky film with the director himself in attendance.
