On the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, the establishment received its faithful cinephile spectators for a friendly evening and get to know the new team.
It was in 1984. The Palace star, historic cinema of the good city of Moissac, located on the Pierre-Delbrel boulevard, with beautiful Art Deco facades, became the Concorde. A time in the handle of the CGR group, taken up in 2000 by Jean-Michel Durand, then by his son Olivier in 2014, he is now managed by the Perpignan family group Cinémovida since June 2024. A date that turns out to be symbolic Since it seals both the fortieth anniversary of the Concorde and its renewal.
Tuesday, January 21, an exceptional evening open to the public was organized with the screening of an emblematic film, “Spectators!”, From Arnaud Desplechin, presented in Cannes in 2024, and a buffet offered by cinema.
In the preamble to the projection, the manager of the Concorde, Jérémy Cacheux, presented the project for the Moissagais complex; Warmly thanked the institutional, private and associative partners, and presented his team, Louis, Victoria, Ambre, Stéphanie and her assistant Juliette Giquel, in the presence of Antoine Font, leader of Cinémovida.
The choice of Arnaud Desplechin’s film was undoubtedly daring, a real cinematographic UFO, between documentary, essay and self -fiction, but salutary as this complex but touching work puts the spectator at the center of the game, and the message is clear: without spectators in Hall, movie point.
-Cinema in Moissac is a long history, and the Uval city can boast of still having a complex of 6 rooms with varied programming in the heart of the city. “I was elected in 2008 to the municipality. I remember the battle that we then led with the municipal council to keep our cinema in the city center”, book Marie Castro, vice-president and representative of the Regional Council for the Evening, but above all Moissagaise in the circumstances.
During the little ovens, we come across the rare pearl, Alain: “The cinema has always counted a lot in my life, it was a way to travel and escape when I was young. Monsieur and Madame Nadal, then owners of The Palace star allowed me to assist the projectionist; , a faithful spectator. “
New programming
Forty years which, from Wednesday, January 22, will materialize by a particular program until January 28, with a selection of feature films acclaimed by the spectators, including “SOS ghosts” and “Gremlins”, two films in the first poster Concorded in 1984. Two other thematic weeks were also scheduled during the first half of 2025, with, from February 19 to 25, the films of the Japanese animated studio Ghibli, and from April 16 to 22, the great classics of Disney studios. If we add, this year, the great American blockbusters whose exit had been delayed by the health crisis and Hollywood strikes, we can, without being mistaken too much, predict that the Concorde, already dashing in his forties, is still promised to a beautiful youth in 2025.
