Cinéma des Cinéastes, Movie theater in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France
Cinéma des Cinéastes is a movie theater with three screening rooms offering a combined capacity of 478 seats, situated on Avenue de Clichy in Paris. The rooms vary in size and accommodate different film formats and audience sizes.
The building began as Père Lathuille cabaret in the 19th century before transforming into a concert café. In the 1930s it was converted into a movie theater, a role it has maintained ever since.
The cinema focuses on independent and artistic films, serving as a meeting point where filmmakers and enthusiasts gather. Discussions and Q and A sessions happen regularly, offering visitors deeper insight into filmmaking.
The theater accepts multiple cinema pass types and vouchers for convenient access to screenings. Visitors should check beforehand which payment options and discounts are currently available.
The cinema was refounded by director and producer Claude Berri with the ARP (Société civile des auteurs, réalisateurs et producteurs), and it reopened in October 1996 under its current name, with Fanny Ardant as its godmother. Laurent Hébert ran programming and direction until 2006, and Arnaud Boufassa took over in August 2010.
