Will it bear the name of Alice Guy, the first director in the history of cinema? That of Sarah Maldoror, figurehead of African cinema, at the forefront of the defense of civil rights? Or Delphine Seyrig, actress and director strongly committed to feminist struggles?
Since this Friday, the inhabitants of Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis) can choose the name of the future cinema which is due to open in 2025 as part of the reconstruction of the city center. The ballot is also open to users of other cinemas in the Est Ensemble network.
This future cinema, which will replace the disappearance of the “Magic Cinema”, closed in 2019, will have six rooms, including one equipped with 3D and an event space. The territory specifies that it will offer future spectators a “varied and quality program, both general public and art and essay. »
The territory engaged in the feminization of the names of public buildings
The territorial public establishment (EPT) has chosen to offer residents only women’s names. “So that this ballot is not closed, they can also vote for a fourth female name of their choice”, we specify to the territory, launched, like many communities, in a process of feminization of the names of public buildings.
“Symbolically, it is very important to give our buildings feminine names and there are a few centuries of catching up to do, underlines Alexie Lorca, vice-president (DVG) for culture and popular education at Est Ensemble. It is a will carried by the territory but also by the municipalities, which accompany this movement of feminization of names. »
To vote, physical ballot boxes have been set up in the hall of the town hall of Bobigny, but also in the municipal libraries Elsa-Triolet and Émile-Aillaud, as well as at the MC93 (Maison de la Culture de Seine -Saint-Denis), in Bobigny.
Cinephiles will also be able to submit a secret ballot during the open-air cinema sessions, called “Ciné sous les étoiles”, organized on August 8, 12, 19 and 24 in Bobigny. The choice of name will be formalized in the fall.
