Created in 1935 by Henri Langlois and Georges Franju, the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise is among the oldest institutions dedicated to cinema. Seeking to adapt to its audiences by offering a new approach to art-house cinema while addressing the medium’s latest evolutions, the institution chose to renew its educational offerings by constructing small-scale educational film studios.<\/p>\n
At the top of Frank Gehry’s iconic building, we created a space where visitors can step into the shoes of a filmmaker or actor for the duration of a screening.<\/p>\n
Capitalizing on its rooftop location, the space comprises multifunctional rooms open to the immediate exterior while remaining acoustically shielded from noise. Surrounded by references to film history, visitors step behind the camera. To ensure a seamless experience, circulation routes were designed to facilitate movement, and the rooms feature generous volumes to house technical equipment. Custom signage and environmental graphics guide visitors step-by-step. Like a magic lantern, a cascading light curtain on the fa\u00e7ade creates a dreamlike ambiance inside while signaling the studios’ presence from within.<\/p>\n
With this new facility, the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise provides visitors of all ages with an innovative cultural mediation tool designed to reshape their understanding of cinema through a hands-on, practice-based approach, ensuring that discovering the mechanics of film is as much a moment of learning as it is of enchantment and joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
