Studio des Ursulines, Independent cinema in Latin Quarter, France
Studio des Ursulines is a small independent theater in a historic Parisian building in the 5th arrondissement with a single screen and roughly 120 seats. The venue shows art films, experimental works, and cinema classics throughout the year.
Founded in 1926, this venue was France's first dedicated space for avant-garde cinema. It became an important platform for experimental film artists and helped shape modern cinema culture in Paris.
The space draws film lovers and students who gather to watch works unavailable in mainstream cinemas across the city. Visitors experience a community focused on cinema as an art form rather than commercial entertainment.
The theater sits on Rue des Ursulines and is accessible by public transport with several metro stations nearby. Staff can provide details about accessibility features and help visitors with mobility needs find suitable seating options.
A notable incident occurred in 1928 during a film premiere when artists from the surrealist movement openly protested the screening. This moment reflects how the venue became a space where artistic ideas were actively contested and debated.
