As the May 11 deconfinement is approaching, theaters will not reopen not on this date but potentially in early summer. The Federation of Cinema Operators and the National Cinema Center are working together on this issue. Pierre Lescure, president of the Cannes Film Festival, took stock of the set C to you this Thursday, April 23.
“If the deconfinement really starts from May 11 and if there’s no alert or backlash, then we could imagine that some cinemas reopen. This is what Richard Patry, the president of the National Federation of French Cinemas and the whole industry is seriously working on, even if it is not possible to postpone it, “says Pierre Lescure.
“If reopening were ever possible on July 1, we limit reception in theaters to 50%, which would leave a meter between each spectator. The mask would not be mandatory in the room but it would be in the halls. As for ventilation, so important in the spread of the virus, we would leave twenty minutes between each session so that the air is completely transformed “, ensures Pierre Lescure.
