Also UGC Cine Cite Les Halles with its 19 screens.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-15-2015 06:58 PM                     La Geode is pretty neat: typical Imax Dome theatre but the outside is polished so it looks like a giant ball bearing.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

This is where Henri Langlois pretty much saved all of European cinema from the German occupation during World War 2, he had collected film prints from all over the world prior to the war, and when Vichy ordered them destroyed he managed to smuggle almost all of them out until after the liberation. When the French government tried to remove Langlois from control of the museum in 1968, it touched off riots in the streets. I haven’t been in years, but I know there is still an operating cinema there, along with a large exhibit area and an extensive collection of cameras and related equipment.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-09-2015 07:51 AM                        I was just in Paris myself. I missed the Cinematheque, but I did see Sicario at the Max Linder, both of which I enjoyed. The film (well, video, really) was shown in English with French subtitles. Apparently, "VO" at the box office indicates "original language." I was a bit put off by the "ST- FR" indication, which I thought meant something like "soundtrack in French," but which actually indicated the subtitle language.  |  IP: Logged
