The Intermission cinema hall in Falaise has a new projector. “This allows us to complete the renovation of this room,” mentions Mayor Hervé Maunoury.

We were also a little constrained because the other projector was reaching the end of its life, with the risk of giving up at one point or another. When we see the attractiveness of the cinema since the renovation, and even if it worked well before, it had to be done. Hervé Maunoury, mayor of Falaise.

For this financial operation, there was 80% aid “which is the objective”, continues the mayor. » The amount is 99,000 euros including tax. The National Cinema Center gives 33,000 euros, the Region 32,000 euros. This represents a third for the 3 parties. As we are going to recover VAT, the City finances to the tune of 20,000 euros.”

The latest generation device is a 4K laser projector.

It’s a very good purchase. We don’t have to push it, we can be at 60 or 70% of its capacity. The projector will have a longer lifespan. Nathalie Hamel, employee.

» It is economical in consumption. Compared to the previous one, it makes much less noise. In addition, the image in terms of contrasts is much better,” adds Danielle Voisin, treasurer of the Entract’animation association.

“The 2nd room is absolutely essential”

Lovers of the 7th art, however, regret the constraints linked to the broadcasting of films. » In the next program, there are certain weeks where we have films with 8 screenings. We are in the process of being required to have the same number of sessions as the network theaters which have two rooms. Our goal, however, is not to release films too late. We therefore suffer the consequences,” points out Nathalie Hamel.

» In these cases, obviously, instead of showing 4 films in the week, we watch 2. It’s a shame. Distributors are becoming more and more demanding. Every time we go to do the program, we come back devastated,” continues Danielle Voisin.

Potentially, the number of spectators risks dropping. According to Danielle Voisin,

It’s getting more and more complicated. The second room is absolutely essential to continue to function well. Danielle Voisin, treasurer of the Entract’animation association.

“We are convinced of it,” concludes the mayor.
