Cher Cinéma

A tribute to cinema through the performing arts

The Cher Cinéma festival was born in 2025 from an ambition of the Scène nationale du Grand Narbonne (Théâtre + Cinéma): to create a unique event that celebrates the 7th art in all its forms, by combining film screenings and live performances. The festival's title is borrowed from a choreographic creation by Jean-Claude Gallotta, in which the renowned choreographer evokes his encounters with filmmakers Fellini, Godard, and Moretti in a dialogue between movement and cinematic memory.

A rich program of screenings and performances

For six days in February, Cher Cinéma offers a dense and eclectic program. Film enthusiasts can attend previews, national releases, heritage films, and short films. In parallel, three performances pay tribute to cinema: « Cher Cinéma » by Jean-Claude Gallotta (dance), « Seule comme Maria » in which Narbonne actress Marilou Aussilloux explores the life and career of Maria Schneider, and « On fera mieux la prochaine fois ».

An emblematic venue of Narbonne's culture

The festival takes place at the Théâtre + Cinéma, Scène nationale du Grand Narbonne, located at 2 avenue Maître Hubert Mouly. This major cultural venue combines a performance hall, art-house cinema screens, and a friendly space, Les Comptoirs, where festival evenings continue with blind tests, DJ sets, and concerts. This synergy between cinema and performing arts is at the heart of the Scène nationale's identity.

Meetings and festive moments

Beyond screenings and performances, Cher Cinéma offers meetings with actors and directors, exchanges with the public, and moments of conviviality. The Comptoirs du Théâtre + Cinéma host festive events every evening that extend the cinematic experience in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The festival is aimed at both discerning film buffs and spectators curious to discover cinema in a new way.
