The Institut Valencià de Cultura says its Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026 will begin with a screening of 'Una quinta portuguesa', the feature by Valencian filmmaker Avelina Prat. The film will open the summer programme on 31 July at 22:30, in a single screening.
The announcement places the film at the start of a month-long run of summer cinema in València under the Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026 banner. The IVC’s website lists the season as ‘Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026: Un riu de cinema’ and also references a separate strand, ‘Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026: Top crítica i festivals 2025’, running through August. The opening-night screening of 'Una quinta portuguesa' is the first dated session highlighted in the institution’s notice.
According to the IVC post, 'Una quinta portuguesa' has already been recognised with seven Lola Gaos awards. The institution does not provide further plot information in the announcement, but the awards reference signals the film’s standing within the Valencian audiovisual context. By choosing the title to launch the summer programme, the Filmoteca places a recent local production at the front of its seasonal offer.
The screening is listed for 31 July 2026 at 22:30, in València. The notice describes it as a single session, indicating that the film’s presentation at the Filmoteca d’Estiu is limited to that one night in the opening slot. No additional projections of the title are specified in the source material.
The IVC, the public cultural institute of the Generalitat Valenciana, operates across a wide network that includes film, theatre, music and museum programming. Its website also points to projects and venues in València, Castelló and Alacant, along with the Museu de Belles Arts de Castelló, the Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló and several theatre and concert spaces. Within that broader institutional framework, the Filmoteca d’Estiu remains one of the IVC’s recurring film programmes.
The opening screening of 'Una quinta portuguesa' is scheduled for 31 July 2026 at 22:30 as a single session in València, marking the start of Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026.
