Cinéma d'art et essais Pyrénées-Atlantiques

Since October 2022, the Le Méliès cinema has offered 3 cinemas with 80 to 300 seats dedicated to the 7th art, located in the Foirail cultural center. Certified art house, it programs national releases, retrospectives, heritage films, art house films and screenings for young audiences. Its excellent and eclectic programming, punctuated by previews and meetings with directors, will delight all cinephiles. Online ticket terminals are available at the cinema reception desk. There's also a convivial area with tapas and local drinks. Le Méliès is the place to be for lovers of cinema in all its forms.

This place for cultural sharing is backed by an art house cinema in Guéthary, fully renovated with the latest digital equipment, the comfort of night-blue seats, and also a multi-cultural venue including artistic and digital workshops for all ages (computers and equipment are provided by the cinema), a venue for exhibitions, artist residencies, privatizable spaces and an associative café. A program of national releases, heritage films, independent films (in VO) and sound creations for all.

It's thanks to the initiative of a number of communes in the Basque Country and the efforts of volunteers that local cinemas are being revived. This is already the case in 8 other towns in the Pays Basque and in Hasparren with the Haritz Barne cinema, created at the very beginning of the ^20th century and completely renovated in 2020 to meet all safety and accessibility standards... Optimized comfort with 110 seats and digital projection on a 40 m² screen. Field cinema with an eclectic program available on the website with showtimes. Cinema for all!
