Lights, camera, ¡acción! Looking for a unique date night or fun way to spend a summer evening? This May, the Meadows Museum, SMU, kicks off the series Spanish Cinema Now+ 2025 in Dallas, offering an exciting selection of contemporary Spanish films in the air-conditioned comfort of the Bob and Jean Smith Auditorium. 

Running once a month on Thursday nights from May 15 to Aug. 14, the second annual series provides a chance to dive into Spain’s dynamic film scene at one of Dallas’ most treasured cultural institutions. 

Each screening is free, but space is limited, and advance registration is required at meadowsmuseumdallas.org. Free admission to the galleries on Thursday nights begins at 5 p.m. Presented in partnership with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C. and Dallas Film, Spanish Cinema Now+ 2025 in Dallas reflects the breadth of styles and talent at work in Spain today, showcasing films from established auteurs and emerging filmmakers from the international festival scene. The summer series follows a successful spring run in Washington, D.C. The Meadows Museum is located on the SMU campus at 5900 Bishop Blvd., Dallas, Texas 75205. Parking is free.
