Since the start of the year, French-speaking Switzerland has found two independent cinemas, the Cinématographe in Lausanne (102 seats) and the Sputnik in Geneva (75), taken over by female teams with a cinephile that is both demanding and generous . And at the end of the month, Friborg will have three more projection spaces with the reopening of the Corso – renamed Korso for the occasion – and its three rooms (once 200 and twice 100 seats). While at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic and its long periods of closure of places of culture, some were betting on the collapse of the cinema fleet in the face of all-powerful streaming, now it is increasing. This is necessarily pleasing, but also symptomatic of the vitality of independent cinemas which, like the Cinémas du Grütli in Geneva or the CityClub in Pully, even exceeded the 2019 figures last year.
