The
two mainstream
cinemas in
Quito. Multicines
is in the
CCI complex
on Naciones
Unidas and
Amazonas,
and Cinemark
is in the
Plaza de las
Americas at
the corner
of Avenidas
Republica
and America.
Both have
about seven
screens and
good sound.
Multicines
is a lot closer
to Mariscal,
but doesn't
have many
appealing
restaurants
close-by apart
from Ch'Farina
across the
road. Get
to them early
for popular
releases,
or else book
by phone [MasterCard
only].
Alternative
cinemas showing
a wide variety
of films include
the art-house
cinema in
the Casa
de la Cultura,
at Patria
and 6 de Diciembre.
The Casa is
also the city's
best venue
for classical
music, theatre
and dance.
Cine
8 y Medio
in
Valladolid
behind Swissotel
has foreign
films and
film festivals
including
the popular
Eurocine every
year in May.
The cafe is
a great place
for chilling
out.
