A Masterpiece of the Musical Film Genre in Valencia
CaixaForum Valencia brings back West Side Story, the 1961 classic directed by Robert Wise, as part of the Temps de Cinema (Migracions) cycle. The film, a benchmark in musicals and social drama, tells the story of the impossible love between Tony and María, two young people caught in the rivalry between the Jets and Sharks gangs in a New York neighbourhood marked by racial tensions and violence.
Screening Details
The session will take place on Sunday 20 September 2026 at CaixaForum Valencia. The film, lasting 152 minutes, will be screened in a Spanish-dubbed version and is recommended for ages 12+. Tickets are priced at €4, offering an affordable opportunity to enjoy this classic on the big screen.
Context of the Migracions Cycle
This screening is part of the Temps de Cinema (Migracions) cycle, an initiative by CaixaForum’s CineClub that explores stories of displacement, identity, and coexistence through cinema. West Side Story, with its portrayal of social and cultural divisions, fits perfectly into this theme, offering a timeless reflection on the conflicts and hopes that arise in migratory environments.
