Welcome to Madrid

This space at Matadero devoted to the film world, opened in 2011 where the refrigerators and boiler of the city’s former slaughter house used to be located and devoted to the film world, stands out for having an audiovisual programme that focuses on real films (non-fiction films and forms bordering on documentary), the most alternative and independent film and collaboration with various cultural proposals in the city of Madrid.

The originality of the space, equipped with the latest sound and image technology, has made it into a reference on the capital’s film scene. It has a capacity for 224 people.
