From Wednesday, September 20 to Sunday, September 24, 2023, the Cinémathèque de Nice kicks off the season. On this occasion, various open access screenings are offered.
The Cinémathèque de Nice organizes its kickoff around a cycle entirely dedicated to the start of the season. The “It’s Back to School” cycle honors school in all its forms.

To celebrate her, the Cinémathèque de Nice will screen a selection of her 1980s filmography on the big screen. Additionally, during this cycle, you will have the opportunity to attend a retrospective of the works of filmmaker Jean Eustache in restored copies. Finally, a selection of crime dramas by the most significant filmmakers of the Golden Age of Mexican film noir awaits you in the coming days.
