Film EL 47 at the Filmoteca de Zaragoza, Zaragoza

Filmoteca de Zaragoza

On Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 18:00 the Filmoteca de Zaragoza screens EL 47, directed by Marcel Barrena, as part of the film cycle Una mirada a otras culturas. The film is a Spanish production from 2024 that runs 110 minutes and won five Goya awards in 2024, after 14 nominations. The screening is included in the events marking the International Day of Tolerance on 16 November. The cycle is organised by the Casa de las Culturas y de la Solidaridad and looks at migration, ways of life and customs of other peoples, cultural differences, coexistence and solidarity. Entry is free until the room is full, by order of arrival, from 15 minutes before the session begins. The cycle continues until February 2027. A film screening is easy to attend alone, since everyone watches the same story in the same room and the cycle's themes give a natural starting point for conversation afterwards. «Proyección incluida en los actos de celebración del Día Internacional de la Tolerancia (16 de noviembre)» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:50. Source: Zaragoza city open data — Agenda (Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated.

Hechos para durar, objects with history, CDAMAZ, Zaragoza

Centro de Documentación del Agua y el Medio Ambiente

On Thursday 26 November 2026 at 17:30 the Centro de Documentación del Agua y el Medio Ambiente in Zaragoza holds Hechos para durar, part of the Ayer y Hoy cycle. The listing recalls that before the throwaway culture things were made to last, and that many people keep at home an object that still works like the first day. For the European Waste Prevention Week, the organisers want to gather these long-lived objects, the stories and memories that go with them, and the everyday tricks that kept them alive. The afternoon is described as a chance to chat and build a collaborative display of objects, photographs and memories. The activity is run with the Centro de Mayores Luis Buñuel. Registration is by telephone or email through the centre, and the listing does not give a price. A relaxed conversation about objects is easy to join alone, since everyone brings a story to share. «Una tarde para charlar y construir una exposición colaborativa con objetos, fotografías o recuerdos» Starts 17:30, ends about 19:00. Source: Zaragoza city open data — Agenda (Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated. The listing gives a registration phone and email and does not state a price.

Formats

Where you talk without pressure

These formats give you a task or a topic, so you never have to open with small talk. Pages for Zaragoza:

How to go alone

Five steps for your first time

  1. Choose a single event with a clear start time and a host. "Film EL 47 at the Filmoteca de Zaragoza, Zaragoza" is a good candidate.
  2. Read the official page first: date, price, language and whether a place has to be reserved.
  3. Arrive ten minutes early and tell the host you came alone. Hosts usually seat or introduce newcomers.
  4. Keep one simple question ready ("Have you been before?") and commit to staying for an hour before you judge it.
  5. Go a second time. Familiar faces turn a first outing into a routine. In Meet & Mint you can see who else is going.

Questions people ask

Where do people in Zaragoza meet without swiping?

Pick an activity rather than a venue. Zaragoza has 77 listed events (culture, learning, music); start with "Film EL 47 at the Filmoteca de Zaragoza, Zaragoza" and "Donar médula es donar Vida, La Cartuja Baja, Zaragoza" and go twice.

Is it weird to go to an event alone in Zaragoza?

No. Many of the formats we list, such as language cafés and game nights, are designed for people who arrive alone, and hosts expect newcomers. Tell the host you are new and they will usually introduce you.

Is this a way to find a partner?

No, they are ordinary group activities where nobody is on a date. That is the point: pressure is low, and if a connection happens it grows out of shared interest, not out of a profile.

Are there free things to do alone in Zaragoza?

Yes. 28 of the 77 upcoming events we list in Zaragoza are free, including 23 in the next 30 days. Language cafés, library programmes and many walks cost nothing.

I'm new to Zaragoza and shy. Where do I start?

Pick something where you do things rather than only talk, such as a game night or a guided walk. Commit to one hour. In Meet & Mint you can chat with the group before you arrive, which makes the first minutes easier.
