Marina Shark Film Festival
Friday, 30th and Saturday 31st. 09.00 pm.
Marina de Valencia Pool
Free entrance
La Marina de Valencia continues to surprise us with new and unexpected initiatives that mix leisure with culture.
In fact, this weekend the Marina’s pool will be turned into an outdoor cinema in the framework of the Marina Shark Film Festival. A new festival of short films and cinema, and also the first film festival “on the water” of Valencia!
How does it work? It’s very easy. You will only have to take your mat or float to attend the two screening nights, rocked by the waves of the sea.
Moreover, people will also have the option to enjoy the cinema, sitting on the artificial grass of the pool.
The Festival program foresees:
– Screening of short films about the sea. Friday, 9:00 p.m.
The selected seven short films by Spanish and American directors will be evaluated by a commission of experts.
– Shark Projection, “Jaws” by Steven Spielberg. Saturday, 09.00 p.m.
A classic movie that will make us live a few hours of suspense and intense emotions….
We inform you that for this session it will be necessary to reserve your spot here.
Finally, the Festival invites us to celebrate its first edition with a closing party at Amstel Art (Veles y Vents building). Dj sessions and a lot of dancing to say goodbye to August.
A perfect plan where nothing is missing. Don’t you think so?
Le Dancing Pepa Swing Band

It is completely true that Valencians love jazz and swing. In fact, concerts of this and spaces where to dance lindy hop style have been increasing recently.
