The Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires has added a film entry to its July 2026 program with special 35 mm screenings of 'La odisea', the new Christopher Nolan film based on Homer’s epic poem. According to Malba’s event listing, the film will screen at Malba Cinema on July 17, 23 and 30, with the opening showing set for 10 p.m. on Friday, July 17, and the later performances listed for 9 p.m. on both Thursday, July 23 and Thursday, July 30.
The screening series appears within Malba’s broader 2026 schedule, which on the museum’s site also includes exhibitions by Belkis Ayón, Dan Flavin and Abel Rodríguez, along with the 24th edition of the 'Fiesta de la Lectura'. The film event is presented under the museum’s cinema program as an estreno, or premiere, and the source text specifies that it will be shown in 35 mm, a format still associated with repertory projection and a more tactile exhibition experience than standard digital screenings.
Malba’s notice gives the film’s premise in compact form: after the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a perilous journey back to Ithaca, encountering figures from Homeric tradition including the cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens and Calypso. The page also identifies the work as a U.S. production from 2026 and credits Nolan with direction and screenplay, based on the ancient poem. It lists the producers as Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, with Thomas Hayslip as executive producer.
The technical credits published by the museum further place the release within Nolan’s familiar production team. Hoyte van Hoytema is credited with cinematography, Jennifer Lame with editing, Ruth De Jong with production design, Ellen Mirojnick with costume design and Ludwig Göransson with music. The main cast listed on Malba’s site includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.
The screenings are scheduled for Malba Cinema, the museum’s film venue in Buenos Aires, with the event information giving the venue as part of the museum’s agenda rather than tying it to any exhibition space. Malba’s broader programming around the same period shows the institution using cinema alongside exhibitions and public programs, but the verified source material only identifies 'La odisea' as a film event and does not link it to any museum show beyond its placement in the cinema calendar.
For the museum’s July agenda, the film appears as one of several offerings available to visitors over the month. The event page states simply that it will be projected in 35 mm and that tickets are available through Malba’s website, with the three dates anchored to July 17, 23 and 30, 2026.
