The Institut Valencià de Cultura has announced a screening of Charles Laughton’s 'The Night of the Hunter' as part of Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026. The film will be shown on August 1 and 2 at 10.30 pm, according to the institution’s announcement.
The notice identifies the screening as a presentation of the classic directed by Laughton, who is described in the source as the British actor whose only film as director it was. The post frames the title as part of the Filmoteca d’Estiu programme, which the IVC is promoting through its communications channels and website.
The linked IVC site places the film within its summer cinema listings and uses the headline 'La Filmoteca d’Estiu projecta el clàssic ‘La nit del caçador’, de Charles Laughton.' In the broader website navigation, the IVC presents a wide range of cultural activity across film, music, theatre and contemporary art, including its Filmoteca programmes in different locations in the Valencian Community.
The event listing included in the source material gives the dates as August 1-2, 2026 and names the venue as the Palau de Congressos de Peníscola, in Castellón, with screenings starting at 22:30. The IVC’s website also shows Filmoteca d’Estiu 2026 running from July 31 to August 29 in València, but the specific item highlighted in the announcement is the Peníscola screening of 'La nit del caçador'.
'The Night of the Hunter' remains one of the most frequently discussed titles associated with Laughton because it is his sole directing credit, and the IVC’s announcement underlines that point in presenting the film to audiences. No further programme details, accompanying activities or ticketing information were provided in the source text.
The announcement was published on July 31, 2026, and links back to the IVC website for further information on its summer film schedule.
