Le Trianon cinema celebrates its 70th anniversary with a week of exceptional events, honoring its rich history and "La Dernière séance".

Le Trianon cinema is about to embark on a memorable week to celebrate its 70th anniversary. Renowned for its Art et Essai programming and its 15-year collaboration with the legendary TV show"La Dernière séance", this iconic cinema is offering a series of events that promise to amaze cinephiles.

The Trianon is not only famous for its film screenings, but also for its major contribution to film culture. For 15 years, the program " La Dernière séance ", presented by Eddy Mitchell, made this venue a national icon. To pay tribute to this revolutionary era, the cinema has chosen to inaugurate its festivities with a nod to this program.

The opening of this festive week will see the notable presence of filmmaker Costa-Gavras, honorary patron of the Franco-Arab Film Festival, and a loyal companion of the Trianon. His association with the cinema reinforces the Trianon's status as a meeting place for the big names in cinema.

During this week, from September 15 to 23, the cinema will offer a veritable journey back in time. Audiences will have the chance to relive the 7 decades of cinema through which the Trianon has passed. In addition to this nostalgic journey, the program will include previews, films for young audiences, concerts, shows and exhibitions. This eclectic mix of events is a faithful representation of the diverse and rich programming for which the Trianon is so dearly known.
