Closed since mid-July, the Mercury cinema, located at Place Garibaldi in Nice, has undergone significant renovations costing €450,000. Co-financed by the General Council of the Alpes-Maritimes with €250,000 for accessibility work, and €200,000 by the National Cinema Center for the transition to digital, the enhancements will give this neighborhood family cinema a real facelift. Join us on October 17 for the resumption of screenings.
The Mercury cinema goes digital and is now accessible for people with disabilities!
Regarding accessibility, the commitments made in June during the APF operation “No legs, no cinema” were honored: rooms equipped with spaces for wheelchair users, new emergency exits, and adapted restrooms.
On the technical side, the Mercury cinema enters the digital age while retaining a 35 mm projector for old copies.
The Mercury, a cinema managed by the General Council:
An “Art & Essay” cinema, the Mercury is a crossroads for meetings of all 7th art lovers. Under the leadership of its President, Deputy Eric Ciotti, the General Council offers no fewer than 5 screenings per day in each room from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., debates, films, and above all a great cultural diversity with programming that is always “cinephile” and focused on all cinematic genres.
