See or re-see classics, yes, but not just any classics! At Christine Cinéma Club, a cinema dating back to the 70s, these classics are mainly focused on American cinema, in particular the famous Westerns. Gone With the Wind, Some Like It Hot and Shadow of a Doubt are back in theaters, much to the delight of American film fans. But if you're not one of them yet, this is your chance to discover these famous feature films.
There are two cinemas within a 15-minute walk of each other: Christine Cinéma club and Ecoles Cinéma club. Each has two theaters for screenings in the original version only. Films are usually shown in 2K, but some have the advantage of being broadcast in 4K. And just like the Filmothèque in the Latin Quarter, the Christine Cinéma Club still screens feature films using 35mm reels. The tradition of pre-digital screenings lives on. And this cinema has the distinction of having part of it listed as a historic monument. The entrance door dates back to the 17th century!
"The 17th-century porte cochère is listed as a historic monument".
Initially focused on American cinema, the Christine Cinéma Club diversified 5 years ago, opening up to more recent films and classics from other origins (Italian, French, Turkish...). In addition, the Christine Cinéma Club organizes annual film festivals with films from all over the world: Peru, Bulgaria, Colombia, etc... Find out more here!
In this historic district, after a screening you can visit the Conciergerie, the former prison on the Ile de la Cité where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned , the Musée National de la Monnaie de Paris and the famous Saint Michel fountain. All this in the heart of the Latin Quarter, a veritable temple of independent art-house cinema. And just a few blocks away is the Saint André des Arts, another institution of independent cinema. So what's your choice?
