“We had a good year thanks to French films, American production was less present”, due to delayed releases during covid and production delays. Just behind the Artus comedy, The Count of Monte Cristo brought together more than 10,000 spectators.

The only black screen in this good year was a synchronization problem between sound and image during the highly anticipated screening of the Inoxtag documentary: “Kaizen”. The one and only theatrical screening on September 13 was disrupted by a problem with the file. The cinema had opened two rooms for the occasion. “We knew thirty minutes before that the file had a problem, it was annoying because there was only one screening, but everyone was understanding, I thank the public because it was a big hassle . »
On screens in 2025
The year 2025 will begin with Vincent Dubois and Jean-Christian Fraiscinet, better known as the Bodin's. After Thailand, this time, the duo “goes into a tailspin”. The release is scheduled for March 2025, but the two actors will be at the Galaxy on January 30 for a preview. They will interact with the public after the screening. Places are already available to reserve.
To follow, on January 31, the broadcast of the concert “A violin on the sand”, captured during the last edition in Royan and on March 27 and 29, the screening of the Patrick Bruel concert. The conference screenings on the trip organized by Altaïr continue in 2024-2025, with already known destinations: Thailand, India, Mont-Blanc and Route 66.
Another event that remains, the Art et Essai sessions programmed by the Eurociné-Cognac association. “Memory,” starring Jessica Chastain, will be screened in theaters on January 8.

“We don't know what tomorrow will bring, because the context is a little hot and we're still doing leisure,” slips Thierry Guiet. Despite everything, the cinema has chosen not to increase its prices for the next year. €9.20, the full adult price, always €6.50 for students.
A more accessible cinema
The Galaxy and other cinemas in the Cinewest group have just acquired an application to make films more accessible to visually and hearing impaired people. “Greta” allows you to download the audio description, subtitles or audio amplification of certain films broadcast. When the viewer arrives in the room, the application synchronizes with the broadcast and the subtitles, for example, are broadcast on the phone screen. “All the films are not yet offered, but things are coming together,” explains Thierry Guiet. A service provided free of charge by the cinema.
Subtitles and audio descriptions are now accessible via a free application: Greta.
