The Cinémathèque québécoise has reopened

After being shut down since mid-March, the Cinémathèque québécoise movie theatre in Montreal has reopened today with art exhibitions and will resume film screenings on Wednesday, Aug. 5. Today’s reopening of the film conservatory and art house cinema falls on the same day that the Quebec government is allowing gatherings of 250 people indoors for public events (seated, with physical distancing).

C'est avec un plaisir immense (et toute la prudence de mise ????) que nous vous souhaitons aujourd'hui la bienvenue, de nouveau, dans nos salles d'exposition. Nous vous rappelons que nos salles de projections rouvriront le 5 août. Tout le monde est prêt pour les vues ???? ?
