Over 40 Years of History
The Cinema Party, is a long-standing tradition. Created on June 14, 1985 by the Ministry of Culture, the National Federation of French Cinemas, and other industry professionals, this celebration allowed participants to purchase a passport booklet “for the price of a cinema ticket that they could then reuse throughout the day, enabling them to enjoy the special rate of 1 franc per screening” (equivalent to 15 cents today), explains the National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC). The first edition was such a success that the event has continued over the years, evolving in its format, making cinema ...
a central element of French cultural life.
