Cine Lorca

Cine Lorca is a two-screen cinema on Avenida Corrientes in downtown Buenos Aires. The programming focuses on international and independent films, offering an alternative to mainstream commercial releases.

The cinema opened in 1968 on the site of two earlier movie houses called Éclair and Central Cinema. It became part of a significant row of specialized film venues in Buenos Aires during that era.

The cinema shows films from around the world and from independent filmmakers that you won't find in mainstream multiplexes. It serves as a gathering place for film enthusiasts who seek diverse stories and perspectives beyond commercial productions.

The venue is located on Avenida Corrientes, a main thoroughfare in the city center that is easy to reach by public transportation. Tickets can be purchased directly at the cinema, and screenings run daily from afternoon into the evening.

This cinema is the last surviving of five historic movie houses whose names all began with the letter L - Lorange, Lorraine, Losuar, and Loire - that once dotted Buenos Aires. The others closed long ago, but this one continues to screen films for new generations.
