mk2 Bibliothèque x Centre Pompidou
Paris
128 / 162 avenue de France
75013 Paris
As part of the Constellation program, which runs throughout the Centre Pompidou’s renovation period, the Centre’s film programming is relocating to mk2 Bibliothèque (entrance BNF) in Paris.
Renamed and rebranded in the Centre Pompidou’s colors, the current entrance located at the heart of the Bibliothèque nationale de France François-Mitterrand becomes mk2 Bibliothèque × Centre Pompidou. This venue—featuring four screening rooms and a central atrium—will host retrospectives, thematic cycles, festivals, previews, regular events, talks, and masterclasses curated by the Centre Pompidou and the Cinémathèque du documentaire by the Bibliothèque publique d’information.
As the renowned Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar has just completed his twenty-fifth feature film, the Centre Pompidou is dedicating a complete retrospective to his work, in his presence and that of numerous collaborators, friends, and film critics.
From the cheeky first comedy Pepi, Luci, Bom et autres filles du quartier (1980)—shot with friends, without a budget, in a Madrid in the midst of the Movida—to more refined and introspective dramas such as La Chambre d’à côté (2024)—an English-language feature starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival—what accounts for the vitality of this filmography, its evolution, and its enduring relevance today?
Every Monday at 7 pm,
mk2 Bibliothèque x Centre Pompidou invites you to an eclectic film screening!
A documentary presented by the Cinémathèque du documentaire par la Bpi, a hidden gem from the Cinémathèque idéale des banlieues du monde, a (re)discovery of a film from the Centre Pompidou collection, a preview screening…
