Bleu soir 2022
Cinéma Public renewed its collaboration with Livart by presenting Bleu soir, a series of summer screenings in Montreal that has taken place from June 26 to August 31, 2022.
From Sunday to Thursday, at dusk, the interior courtyard of the art centre located on the Plateau-Mont-Royal was transformed into an open-air cinema. This was an opportunity to watch films carefully selected by the Cinéma Public team in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with a bar service to enjoy the sweet summer evenings. The program was made up of cult and must-see films, awarded at several international festivals, as well as new and exclusive films that appealed to both seasoned film buffs and curious neophytes. Bleu soir was also punctuated by special events, in the attendance of guests, as well as an access to the exhibition at Livart.
Co-presented and hosted by Livart
