The cinema will have both indoor and outdoor screens, with green sloping rooftop terraces offering views over Paris. The outdoor screens will be home to cafes and restaurants and seating on either the greenery or up closer in theater seats. Made up of three large boxes, this new building will be organised into different clusters all with a similar theme. The cultural center will offer people everything needed to create their own films, making this dual purpose cinema in Paris one-of-a-kind.
