The movie theater is getting a makeover… but the screenings are still going on!
Starting in 2025, the Cinémathèque will begin a transformation with an ambitious four-year renovation and expansion project. The historic building, listed as a national cultural heritage site, will be modernized while preserving the spirit of its existing architectural elements.
During the construction work, the Cinémathèque's screenings will take place at various locations across the city – including the Théâtre des Capucins and the Cercle Cité.
Starting November 1, the Cinémathèque will welcome its audience at the Théâtre des Capucins for heritage films. Several days each month, depending on the venue’s availability, screenings of Cinema Paradiso, Afternoon Adventures, Great Restorations, Saturday Night Fever, and of course many other great classics and discoveries will be offered.
Starting in October, Cercle Cité, right in the heart of the city, will host numerous partner screenings.
