Artec leaves for three more years. The current delegate for the management of the Star cinema in fact emerged as the winner of the competitive bidding procedure aimed at selecting the service provider over the period between 1is July 2023 and June 30, 2026. Two operators were in the running. The outgoing, therefore, and the Cinéode company. “The Artec project has largely stood out with events and a rich program, particularly in terms of arthouse films (over 60%)”, according to Pascale Bru, cultural assistant…

Festival en plein air
At the last city council, the elected official also justified this choice by the attention paid to various audiences and the desire to create an open-air film festival in the continuity of the existing summer screenings. Other elements weighed in the balance: the guarantees provided in the management of personnel, the maintenance of equipment, the objectives of attendance (65,000 paid admissions in 2022 in a full year once morest 41,000 in 2021) and financial results. The renewal of the cinema public service concession contract is thus part of a certain logical sequence.
While validating this decision, the elected opposition Jacques Mangon regrets the abandonment by the current majority of the project to create a fourth room carried by the previous team. “It was a necessity to continue to advance cinema,” he argues. Except that a double episode came to reshuffle the cards: the Covid and the explosion of the platforms. “The mode of consumption of the spectators has changed. The priorities today go to more qualitative rooms and to an extension of the schedules, in particular in the evening. We are working on it. Even if this poses a difficulty at the level of the Fire Safety and Personal Assistance Service (SSIAP)”, assures Stéphane Delpeyrat-Vincent. Finally, the complete renovation project of the Carré des Jalles, on which Bordeaux Métropole is considering, will not fail to impose new constraints.
