Mallorca for Movie Buffs – in English

The good news for all film aficcionados in Mallorca's expat community: many new releases are screened in Palma in English, with Spanish subtitles, and usually they come out here around the same dates as in the UK and the USA. At any time there are usually between three and five movies showing in English in Palma.

So, where to go to see them? #

Cineciutat

Cine Ciutat at S’Escorxador[[INSERT LINK TO Cineciutat ARTICLE]] in Carrer de L’Emperadriu Eugènia 6, is a great option - a small independent cinema which shows all movies in their original languages. Their programme usually includes at least one film in English, and often more.
