The upcoming cinema comes from partners IMAX and Compagnie Cinématographique de Cannes (CCC) and it will be the first-ever IMAX theatre to open in Cannes at the Cineum Cannes multiplex.
Set to begin welcoming audiences later this summer, the upcoming theatre will feature cutting-edge IMAX with Laser technology and bring the IMAX experience closer to the Cannes Film Festival, and CCC plans to pursue official venue status for the theatre for future editions, along with local festivals including Cannes Series, MIP-TV and more. IMAX will seek to use the venue for premieres and to bring world-class IMAX filmmakers to Cannes for exclusive screenings.
“This is a milestone event for IMAX, as we’ve long sought to expand the world’s foremost theatrical experience to one of the most iconic cities in global cinema,” says IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond. “We are thrilled to begin our partnership with Compagnie Cinématographique de Cannes at this truly special location, and bring The IMAX experience to the home of the storied Cannes Film Festival and some of the world’s most passionate cinephiles.”
