Mk2 Bastille

mk2 Bastille is a multiplex cinema with seven screening rooms spread across two buildings on Boulevard Beaumarchais and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The rooms feature modern projection technology and show different film genres simultaneously throughout the day.

The cinema was established as part of the MK2 group, which expanded across Paris during the second half of the 20th century. Its opening in the Bastille district solidified the group's role in promoting independent and international cinema throughout the city.

The cinema draws film lovers from across the city and regularly shows works from around the world, ranging from mainstream releases to independent productions. The space also hosts discussions with filmmakers and special events that bring together audiences interested in cinema beyond typical commercial offerings.

The two buildings are connected by an internal passage, making it easy for visitors to move between the screening rooms. The cinema offers online ticket reservations and maintains accessibility features for people with disabilities.

The proximity of the seven rooms allows visitors to watch multiple films in a single afternoon if they wish. This arrangement creates an unusual freedom to jump between different genres and screenings, turning a regular cinema visit into a film-hopping adventure.
