Cineteca Madrid Opens Season with Damien Jalet Tribute

festival-fair · 2026-08-28

Cineteca Madrid is set to kick off its new season with an innovative program that transcends traditional cinema, featuring dance, music, digital art, and expanded moving-image practices throughout September. At the heart of this initiative is a homage to French-Belgian choreographer Damien Jalet, whose influence spans contemporary dance, film, music videos, and visual arts. This series, in partnership with Centro Danza Matadero, will take place from September 5 to 11 and highlights films and projects that have solidified Jalet's status as a prominent interdisciplinary choreographer. The program commences on September 5 with Luca Guadagnino's 'Suspiria' (2018), a reimagined version of the classic horror film where dance acts as both a ritual and a concealed form of communication.
