the essential After three screenings canceled for weather reasons, “Ciné sous les étoiles” launched its season on Tuesday evening at Les Ramassiers.
At nightfall, the walls of the buildings on the Esplanade des Ramassiers are adorned with ochre. On the square, the inhabitants of the district and the surrounding area collect the chairs and settle down in front of the giant screen, before the film starts.
The regulars of “Ciné sous les étoiles” had to wait a long time to rediscover the pleasure of the Columérin open-air cinema. The first three summer sessions were canceled because the wind was blowing too much. “Above 30 km / h, the stakes can tear off and the structure moves dangerously”, explains Simon Carpentier, team leader of the company Ciné Plein Sud, in charge of the organization of “Ciné sous les étoiles “. “The screen is comparable to a parachute fabric, which is held together by an inflatable structure. The films are projected on a 10 x 6 meter canvas”, he specifies.
Some Columérins were surprised not to see a fallback solution being put in place. Previously, in the event of bad weather, “Ciné sous les étoiles” took refuge in the Hall Comminges. But since the opening of the Véo Grand Central cinema, this solution has been abandoned so as not to create “unfair competition” with the new complex of dark rooms.
A program that pleases
“We are very happy to finally launch this season!”, declares Arnaud Simion, first deputy mayor. “Ciné sous les étoiles was created more than twenty years ago, with the aim of bringing culture to the districts of Colomiers”, continues the elected official.
For the first film of the summer, the inhabitants were there, with just over 300 people on the Esplanade des Ramassiers. Among them, Marie and Anna have been coming to outdoor sessions for five years. “The lineup is really great this year,” says Marie. The two women still regret the lack of communication from the town hall regarding the cancellation of the first three outdoor sessions.
The closing night of “Ciné sous les étoiles” will take place on Tuesday, August 22, at Parc Duroch. The afternoon will be punctuated by entertainment, before the screening of Top Gun Maverick, at 9:30 p.m.
