Priority to youth

For this 2024 edition, Ciné passion has decided to highlight youth. Indeed, after the Covid period, young students no longer go out to the cinema, “We wanted to highlight the young audience, it’s the audience that has deserted the theaters the most and we trust them, in certain films the children even bring their parents back,” explains Julien Robillard, broadcast manager at Ciné passion.

For the association, it is important to make open-air cinema more accessible, the programming has been reworked, there will be more films which are suitable for both young audiences and adults. Among them, Vice-Versa 2, Despicable Me 4, Kensuké Kingdom, Sirocco and even Super Mario Bros. To win back the hearts of young people, free rates are offered for children and games and activities are planned from 7 p.m.

Prices are around €5 to €7 per broadcast and reservations can be made online, all the information is on the ciné passion website: https://cine-passion24.com/cinema-plein-air.php
