Three films will be presented on Christmas Eve, until 5 p.m., in the small 54-seat cinema. “It makes it have a very intimate and warm side,” she described.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Flo, Prayer for a lost mitten et Mommy: these films are part of the Holiday selection by the programming committee.
Cinéma Moderne will also present a program of five Quebec short films on December 27. “It’s rarer for us to have access to short films,” said M.me Julien-Gagnier. It allows you to discover several filmmakers at the same time, it’s really cool.”
Parents can also take advantage of an adjacent café-bar, which allows their children to watch the film while having a drink or a coffee.
