El último verano (2016) poster

Every summer night, in some small towns, locals and vacationers gather in the town squares to enjoy the experience of watching an outdoor 35mm film screening. To make this event possible, there are people who work tirelessly on what may be their last days, as the traditional photochemical format is disappearing in favor of digital cinema. This documentary chronicles the summer journey of an outdoor cinema entrepreneur who is facing the forced restructuring that the digital age has imposed on film exhibition. As the director explains, "I wanted to tell the story of one of the people who has impressed me most throughout my professional career, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, with whom I have worked on outdoor screenings during the summer for many years. He is the perfect protagonist to show the transition from celluloid to digital screenings."
