A text about a contemporary artist from Argentina:
El título que el artista elige para su muestra evoca intencionadamente el mítico ciclo ómnibus de cine que Canal 11 emitía los sábados a la tarde, SÁBADOS DE SUPER ACCIÓN, donde se alternaban de manera continuada clásicos y películas clase B de géneros como el western, policiales negros, comedias, documentales, musicales y de todo un poco.
ecletic?
Thanks

: movie marathon even better than film marathon and more appropriate for Argentina (where people probably learn US Eng correct me if I'm wrong) - a nice bit of alliteration going on here too

Thanks! In Argentina most schools teach UK English, but business students often want US English.

: In this context with a cultural referent, perhaps a more literal rendering such as this might be the way to go.

Movie Marathon/Film Marathon
Regarding this particular paragraph, the fact you have 'de cine' after ciclo omnibus in the source text means that film/movie should be in the translation of this paragraph surely, whatever the artist's own domain is.
S/he's using this idea of the tv channel's name for its movie marathon solely as inspiration for the title of an exhibition of his/her own work whatever that work is, so it should not take up too much focus or space.
Thanks Patinba for responding to that UK/US English comment relating to Argentina - you learn something new every day.
