Support for the Villa Albertine’s Films on the Green festival
In November 2024, the Jeu de Paume will open an art house cinema open to all, with almost 400 screenings a year. Located in an area of Paris that has no cinema but is an epicentre for the arts, this cinema will offer a selection of research and discovery films, first works by male and female directors and a wide range of films for young audiences.
The opening of an arthouse cinema is a further step towards promoting and questioning the images of yesterday and today. For nearly 30 years, hundreds of films have been shown at the Jeu de Paume, from Chantal Akerman, Jonas Mekas and Jean-Luc Godard to Marie Losier, Sumiko Haneda and Pedro Costa.
