MK2 Bastille, Movie theater in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
MK2 Bastille is a movie theater on boulevard Beaumarchais in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Place de la Bastille. The building has a simple, modern facade with large windows, and inside there are several screening rooms with comfortable seating and good sound and picture quality.
MK2 Bastille is part of the MK2 group, founded in France in the 1970s with the aim of making art house cinema accessible to a wider audience. Over time, the network grew to cover several locations across Paris, and the Bastille venue became one of its most recognized addresses.
MK2 Bastille regularly screens art house films and documentaries that are rarely found in large multiplexes, and it sometimes invites directors for post-screening discussions. These evenings turn a simple film visit into an exchange between the audience and the people who made the film.
The theater sits right next to the Bastille metro station, served by several lines, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city. It is a good idea to book seats in advance online, especially on weekends or for special screenings.
MK2 Bastille offers dedicated screenings for parents with babies, where the lights are kept slightly brighter and the sound a little lower than usual. This means new parents can go to the movies again without having to leave their infant at home.
