It's a long-awaited spotlight. In November 2016, cult Parisian cinema La Pagode was forced to close its doors. That same year, the Etoile Cinémas group to which it belonged won the call for projects in the Réinventer Paris competition organized by the mayor's office. The Etoile Voltaire concept was born.
The kickoff for this project was initially scheduled for 2018, then pushed back to 2026, leaving Parisians to bide their time. This year, however, we can finally look forward to unveiling the new cultural space emerging in the 11th arrondissement, housed within a repurposed, unused building.
Here, a veritable temple of cinema awaits you, with five screening rooms. TheEtoile Voltaire will also be home to the Maison du Cinéma with the Société des Réalisateurs Français, offering master classes, cartes blanches and programming workshops.
La Bellevilloise will be in charge of the hall and its varied program, which will also include a café and a new solidarity restaurant. The icing on the cake is that this venue marks the opening of a new rooftop in the capital! On the roof ofEtoile Voltaire, a green terrace will offer a view over the 11th arrondissement.
We'll be on the lookout!
