Free screenings at Paris Anim' Centers
Throughout the year, the Paris Anim’ Centers managed by the Paris Federation of the Ligue de l'enseignement offer free film programming, accessible to all audiences.
About
This year, in the Paris Anim' Centers, cinema turns up the volume!
For this new season, we have chosen to place music at the heart of our programming. The music that accompanies images and gives films a particular color, of course, but also the music that sometimes becomes a character in its own right. The music that makes you dance, brings people together, allows you to express yourself, to claim, to convey, or simply to share an emotion.
Animated films, cinema classics, documentaries, short films, and themed sessions: discover a varied selection of screenings for young and old every month.
But cinema in the Paris Anim' Centers is not just about watching films. It is also about supporting them, talking about them, meeting those who make them, and creating in turn. This season will therefore be punctuated by meetings, workshops, festivals, and events where cinema and music will respond to each other.
Throughout this agenda, you will be able to cross paths with Billy Elliot, vibrate with the hip-hop culture of Beat Street, follow the dreams of the musicians in The Commitments, or let yourself be carried away by La La Land. Younger ones will also have their own appointments, with films and stories where music accompanies the adventure, emotions, and imagination.
At the Paris Federation of the Ligue de l’enseignement, we defend accessible, lively, and shared cinema. A cinema that is watched, listened to, practiced, and above all, encountered.
With family, with friends, or solo, enjoy friendly sessions close to home!
