The Rex cinema team in La Réole does not hide its anger following its non-reopening due to new government instructions.
Armelle Petit, secretary of the Réolais screen, and the cinema volunteers demonstrated this Tuesday, December 15 in front of the Réolais building.
“Following the Federal Council of the Cinema Syndicate of Monday, December 14, it was unanimously adopted that the National Federation of French Cinemas will seize the Council of State with a ” freedom referral ” in the coming days for oppose the government’s decision not to reopen. “
“The decision not to reopen was taken on December 10 without any consultation. The cinemas had to resume their activities normally with the curfew ”, reports Armelle. “The appeal has very little chance of success, but it also aims to show our dissatisfaction with this completely grotesque situation and the contempt displayed by the government of the world of culture”, she adds.
The world of culture sounded the alarm throughout France on Tuesday. At the initiative of the National Federation of French Cinemas (FNCF), all cinemas, in order to express their disagreement with the announcements of Jean Castex, lit their signs this Tuesday, December 15 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
It is also a way of highlighting the presence of cinemas as places of social and cultural connection, essential in the heart of towns and villages.
