Cinéma d'art et essais France

This art and essay cinema is a cultural venue and offers original movies that can please the entire family.

After several months of renovation, this neighborhood cinema in the turbulent history reopened its doors in May 2011, for a new start. Opened in the heart of the New Wave (1969) in the restructured premises of a former cabaret, this unique room has 208 seats and everything has been renovated to offer better quality, comfort and hospitality for conferences and conferences. Stylish design, star night blue seats, very original lustre next to the window… Saint-Germain-des-Prés intends to revitalize its programming (clearly oriented art and trial) and refidéliser a clientele to compete with the competition of the two multisalles cinemas at the Carrefour de l'Odéon. In this mission, the financial support of writer Bernard-Henri Lévy will not be too much. 

This is an institution marked by a charismatic personality: Roger Diamantis. This madman of the 7 ^th Art sacrificed his life for films, which opened in 1971 a cinema in place of a hotel. Two rooms were available, one of which was devoted to one film for two years: " La Salamander "by Alain Tanner. Result: 300 000 entries. Roger Diamantis died in 2010 as a film publisher and has always supported experimental film and film films. Cavalier, Godard, Kusturika, Jarmush… all had the right to programming. Today, the Saint-André des Arts has 3 rooms, always refuses the unlimited pass, and welcomes the first of its quality.

Mac Mahon is one of the most beautiful cinemas still in operation. Opened in 1938, the Parisians were able to discover in the Liberation of all American films that they had been deprived of during the occupation. The room won a very strong reputation. In the 50 s, we even talked about the band of the "Mac-Mahoniens", those who like Bertrand Tavernier or Patrick Brion visited the place with diligence. In 1959, Les Cahiers du Cinéma took over the Mac-Mahoniens manifesto, which clamaient loud and clear: " staging on the scenario ". The culmination of this golden age: in Jean-Luc Godard's classic "A Bout de Souffle", many scenes are filmed in the Mac-Mahon. After a difficult period in the 80 s, cinema is still a place of worship dedicated to the great American classics. It was the Bolloré group that began a lot of work in the 2000 s.

In the heart of Montparnasse is this unique cinema. The 7 Parnassiens have, as its name indicates, 7 rooms for a total of 835 chairs. Created in 1979 at the heart of the shopping mall, he had at the beginning of 5 rooms. Since then, authors'films in original language have been honoured. A room is dedicated to African films, as well as to many festivals during the year. Debates are also held all year round, as well as an art gallery that displays paintings by artists every month. 

This is a part of the company "Les Screens de Paris" which represents a circuit of five independent cinemas. The aim of these cinemas, such as that of the Reflet Medici, is to broadcast authors'films, all in comfortable rooms and enjoy a performance performance. On-site staff know the history of the cinema with a warm welcome. Before being a cinema of 3 rooms, the establishment was, until 1964, a theatre theatre named Le Théâtre des Night. The public is thus born on the boards two stars of the big screen: Gérard Philipe and Maria Casarès. In the Medici room 3 of 94 blue chairs, one can observe an original colorful stained glass stained glass window. In addition to organising quality festivals throughout the year, the Reflet Medici fully disseminates the selection of Cannes Festival, A Certain Look within one week of the official closure.

The cinema Les Ambiances is located in the heart of the small clerical streets. The three rooms are equipped with the latest standards (its THX), ideal for watching quality authors films. The programming is eclectic. Clerical cinema lovers know this unavoidable place. Films in original, meetings with directors, screenwriters or comedians, debate evenings, pre-premieres, special cycles and weeks, movies-concerts, carte blanche, special screenings and young audiences are the program. The Ambiances are more than just a cinema. Special attention is paid to films that have been filmed in Auvergne.

The 3 Luxembourg has made a new skin! Nearly 7 months of work was required to renovate this art cinema and historical test. If the rooms have gained modernity and comfort, the spirit of the place is fortunately always the same. Here, the filmmakers and activists are marching: created in 1960 in the Latin Quarter, in full effervescence, the cinema hosted all kinds of militant projections in 1968. Today, this author cinema has a very good selection and regularly organizes festivals, retrospectives, predates and debates.

Before the Amphi, the center center consisted of three cinemas: the CBA, the Eden and the Grenette. The first two, vétustes, closed with the opening of the multiplex. Only remains the best equipped and best located of the three, the Grenette. In passing, the institution changed its vocation. He welcomes Cinémateur, formerly to the CBA. The four comfortable and digital rooms now have the Art and Trial label. In addition to the projections, they host meetings and debates between film professionals and the public.

The two rooms in this archipelago located in the heart of the 10 ^th arrondissement have beautiful hours in front of them. Since 2001, the establishment has been offering programming very related to music, live shows and animation cinema. All the arts are represented. And say that in 1893, this place was called "The Concert of the Japanese City" and was a popular coffee-concert, where Maurice Chevalier or Maxime Lisbon took Place in their early stages. It was only in 1911 that the room turned into cinema. The "Paris-Cinéma" was born and kept this name until 2001… From silent to speaking, through today's shows: this is a territory not to be missed…

Another member of the Paris Screens, which valiantly resists the large multiplex in the Bastille district. Opened in 1934, this cinema has always sailed on the second waters, first by airing series B movies, and then programming X films. The Bastille Palace reconvertit in the projection of author's films or small budgets and is renamed Majestic Bastille in 1995. Today's two rooms offer great conditions for spectators who can enjoy a large panoramic screen 11 metres wide. 

The Majestic Passy, which belongs to the network Les Screens du Cinéma, orne the heart of the 16 th arrondissement. It's the only cinema in the neighborhood. Opened in 1930, it was first called Royal Passy and then Broadway. The economic difficulties encountered led to the closure of the cinema in 1982, which was replaced by a fur store. He reintroduced in 1994 with three modern rooms, including the large room equipped with a panoramic screen of 13 meters. Popular and subtitled films are available every week. A bar is also available. Finally, many meetings are organized, but also conferences and meetings for people with disabilities. 

Welcome to the temple of real art lovers, between cinema students and nostalgic for modern cinema. Former famous cabaret of the Latin Quarter who lives among others, it was in 1957 that this unique hall of 125 places became a cinema. First named Studio Cujas before being called Accattone, in reference to Pier Paolo Pasolini's first film, this film offers daily films of yesterday and today. On the spot also: a bookstore, a gallery and a bar to speak travelling and fondus. Be careful at the seats in the room: most of them have names of great personalities… In sum, a place that smells the Dolce Vita…
