Cinemas Ille-Et-Vilaine

The Arvor cinema has been given a makeover in early 2021 by moving into one of the three Identity towers located directly next to the train station. It now has 5 rooms, the largest of which can accommodate up to 340 spectators. While keeping its Art et Essai programming line, this new Arvor will be able to offer more films and therefore expose (and enhance) the diversity of independent cinema. It is also easier to organize events and special evenings: debates, meetings, previews, thematic programs... as well as the now famous Sunday Night Film (once or twice a month), which is an opportunity to see or re-see on the big screen a lovingly selected cult film. The reception, with its decoration made of visible raw materials (wood, concrete columns...) also has a coffee area to wait pleasantly before a film or to debrief passionately with friends at the end of a session.

A charm of yesteryear hovers when you go to this cinema located in the center of town, a few steps from the beach. It has two rooms with digital image and sound (3D). In room 1, there are 268 seats with digital sound, 12-meter screen. In room 2, there are 122 seats with digital sound, 7 meter screen. The theaters are also equipped with assistive devices for deaf and hard of hearing spectators and audio description. The establishment is part of the French Association of Art Cinemas. For those with a sweet tooth, sweets, drinks and popcorn are available.

Located in the Rocabey district, a few minutes from the Sillon beach, Le Vauban remains the only cinema in the corsair city. It has five rooms accessible to disabled people. If the Vauban 1 (Rocabey) broadcasts the big productions and other general public films, on the other hand, the Vauban 2, located in the Grande Passerelle, is committed to offering an author's cinema and a more specialized program with notably some art house productions. The three theaters of Vauban 2 are part of the cultural center La Grande Passerelle.

The ciné-club of the University of Rennes 2 welcomes you every Wednesday for double film screenings organised by the Department of Performing Arts. Benefiting from all the modern comforts and a giant screen, the cinema allows to see in very good conditions films from a program ensuring a great diversity (great classics, darker films, documentaries...), partnerships with various associations as well as the Travelling festival. Outside the cinema club, live shows, concerts and conferences are held all year round to complete a programme that allows everyone to benefit from a professional cultural offer at very accessible prices.

Located in the National Theater of Brittany, this cinema offers to the spectators to discover films of the whole world in VO with a clear preference for the cinema of author in all kinds. The program is of high quality and offers a number of different events (meetings, white cards, surprise films...). It is widely advised to follow the program attentively since, in addition to some unique screenings, the TNB cinema also offers retrospectives of certain directors by showing their complete works (in recent years: Kurosawa, Fassbinder, Ozu, Jarmusch... among others!). A marvel for the connoisseurs.

In 1998 the association La Bobine was created and allows the renovation of the «Grillon» room. The cinema then finds a beautiful place in Bréal-sous-Monfort. It is now 80 filmmaking volunteers who continue to live this art. Every year, more than 200 films are broadcast and they belong to all genres: general public films, art and essay films, documentaries, newsworks, festivals. It is true that everyone admires it with its programming for all audiences but of quality. It is true that this cinema gives the idea of what a cinema could be in a small town once rural with an essential word: conviviality. Here, you can still make a film in the home under the aegis of Jean-Luc Godard or François Truffaut. Exchanges between neighbors or between generations are warm and give the desire to return to the cinema! The Bobine offers a varied program. In this cinema, public movies, art and essays, documentaries followed by stakeholders, festivals, theme evenings, high school sessions in the cinema… This is done in very good conditions with a digital sound. A big boost to the volunteer team that animates this cinema with determination and magic! Do a survey of the accents, they keep their room, and would not swim in the popcorn in a multiplex where the place is twice as expensive! A real little paradise!

Close to Rennes and easy to reach, this new Cineville is located in a new and comprehensive leisure area (Loopiland, Upper Avenue, Level 3...) with three restaurants nearby. The cinema has a small, open-access room for viewing trailers, and six screens with seating for 86 to 408 people. The largest has a 22 m wide screen - the largest in the Rennes area. Each has the same level of comfort, with wide, comfortable armchairs with ergonomic headrests and plenty of room for your feet. We also love the duo armchairs for couples! A cozy place to get away from it all.
