Cinéma d'art et essais Côte Aquitaine

Utopia is not a cinema like the others! It is in the remains of the Saint-Siméon church, built in the 16th century, that the people of Bordeaux crowd into the dark rooms. Loaded with history, this sublime building is decorated with stained glass windows, statues and paintings. Here, the programming is in original and very varied versions, without advertising, 3D or popcorn. Utopia is above all a place for art lovers and for the curious who would like to be entertained and cultivated. Screenings in the presence of the directors, film conferences, discussion evenings..

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!
