Do you also love extraordinary experiences? Last night I wanted to go to the movie and checked Phenomena, a cinema in Sagrada Familia. Surprise!!! They had a “secret premiere” programmed.
Intrigued, I booked two tickets online. A secret premiere? What movie can it be? I wondered with excitement. The movie starts at 21h55. I looked forward to it.
Outside the cinema, we see a long queue. What? Don’t people have anything better to do on a Sunday night than going to a secret premiere at the movies? Joking…
When we get in, one staff member introduces the night and explains the difficulties they have in getting movies for this type of event. Yet, we start.
Our secret movie unveiled
Our secret movie was “I, Tonya”, released in the US in December 2017. Not my type of movie, so I would not watch it on a normal cinema night.
Therefore, it is good that the title was not unveiled until we were seated. With the secret premiere, I opened myself to something different.
I wanted to write this post not only because I was enchanted by this experience and my out of ordinary Sunday night, but because I also like the “Phenomena experience”.
Indeed, Phenomena is a movie theatre like no other in Barcelona.
Phenomena, the ultimate cinematic experience
Phenomena does not have this commercial aspect of going to a multiplex. It only has one big screen.
You can become a member and enjoy perks such as 11 free surprise sessions throughout the year and up to 50% discounts on movies. Not bad!
I enjoy the most the variety of movies available from classical to blockbusters or recent movies. Do you want to see the new Star Wars? Go to Phenomena! Do you want to reminisce with a nostalgic film? Go to Phenomena! They opened in 2014 with Jaws and Alien. And during February will dedicate the month to love with movies like The English patient on Valentine’s day or The way we were.
About the next secret premiere
Last note, the next secret premiere will be on March 10! And keep an eye on the website for future secret premiere nights.
