TOULOUSE
Toulouse is home to the country’s second-largest film library and one of the most important film collections in Europe!
Following renovation work, the new Cinémathèque now boasts a 98-seat cinema (its third), enabling it to offer a wider range of programming and greater operational flexibility. Long-awaited by users and staff alike, a café has been installed, giving access to the small rear courtyard, which is finally open to the public. There will also be a new, open-access library, more comfortable for reading and research work. (scheduled to open in September 2026)
The programme of festivities:
– Friday evening: official inauguration of the new venue with the Reunion Party and the opening of the reopening exhibition.
– Saturday morning to Sunday evening: non-stop screenings, two film-concerts, non-stop free entertainment, tours of the new spaces and guided tours of the “En toute transparence” exhibition. (collection of film shots: XXL promotional photos with unprecedented clarity). A guided tour to discover what goes on behind the scenes and the treasures of the collections. (Online registration required).
This reopening weekend is also for the very young, with three sessions for the whole family to enjoy! Start the weekend with Peti and the Mischievous Animals, a programme of short films celebrating the inventiveness of Hungarian animation. The adventure continues with the legendary humour of Goscinny and Uderzo in Asterix and Cleopatra, before giving way to the wonder of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first masterpiece from the Disney studios.
A not-to-be-missed opportunity to rediscover the Cinémathèque, its cinemas, its renovated spaces and its unique programme!
