Overview

• Attendees say a woman talked, laughed and shouted through a screening of Eddington, and a confrontation erupted at the end of the film.
• Videos posted on X by witness Sebastián Padrón propelled the footage to wide circulation and led users to dub the woman “Lady Cineteca.”
• Witnesses report about 20 minutes passed without staff intervention and a spectator sought police at the Mayorazgo entrance.
• Officers characterized the conflict as verbal only and made no arrest, as the woman’s companions restrained her and apologized; her identity has not been reported.
• Cineteca Nacional has not issued a statement, and the episode has intensified calls for clearer venue rules and training, with experts noting institutions can expel disruptive patrons even when no crime occurs.
