Écoles Cinéma Club

Écoles Cinéma Club, Independent cinema in Latin Quarter, Paris, France.

Écoles Cinéma Club is an independent art-house cinema at 23 rue des Écoles in Paris's 5th arrondissement. It was created in 1977 from two small shops converted into two screens, one named Nickel Écoles. It shows recent films and themed cine-clubs devoted to French, American, Italian and world cinema, including African and Asian productions.

Opened in October 1977 after the conversion of a bookshop and a travel agency into two screens, one named Nickel Écoles, the cinema showed American films in revival. In 1982 the two screens took a single name and joined the Action Cinéma group. Jean-Pierre Mocky bought Action Écoles in 2011 and renamed it Le Desperado, giving space to classic French cinema and his own films. Ronald Chammah, owner of Christine 21, bought it on 1 July 2017 and renamed it Écoles 21; closed for works on 20 February 2019, it reopened on 5 June 2019 as Écoles Cinéma Club.

The cinema hosts regular film discussions and meetings with directors and critics after selected screenings. These events bring together movie enthusiasts to share their thoughts and gain deeper insights into the films shown.

The cinema sits at 23 rue des Écoles in the 5th arrondissement, reachable by metro lines 7 and 10 at Jussieu, and by line 10 at Maubert-Mutualité or Cardinal Lemoine. The entrance is not wheelchair accessible, so visitors with reduced mobility should plan accordingly.

The two screens created in 1977 came from converting a bookshop and a travel agency at 23 rue des Écoles. The room named Nickel Écoles specialised in re-releases of American films before the two screens were merged under a single name in 1982.
