The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, in Balboa Park, will begin screening Spanish-language films in its IMAX theater.
The “IMAX en Español” series, which opens Sunday at 6 p.m., will be on the third Sunday of every month.
The first film is “Wild Ocean,” which explores the relationship between humans and sea life.
The Fleet's IMAX theater, which had major renovations last year, features the new NanoSeam screen that offers brighter colors and higher-contrast images.
The Fleet is the first museum theater in the United States to show IMAX films in Spanish as part of its regular program, said Martha Puentes, the center's Latino community relations specialist.
“This is very important for us because it proves that the Fleet is committed to making science more attractive to the Hispanic community in San Diego,” Puentes said.
She added that the Fleet is developing an agreement with the Centro Cultural Tijuana, which has the iconic IMAX theater in Tijuana, to exchange Spanish-language films in the future. There are also plans to bring films from the astronomy collection at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City.
Next month's “IMAX en Español” screening is March 15 with the presentation of “El cuerpo humano” (“The Human Body”).
