LE RIO

Rio was born in the 1960s. History has remembered the charismatic founder of this cinema, Nick Kechichian. His real first name was Antranig, a tailor of Armenian origin, he had a house built at 178 rue Sous-les-Vignes, which became Le Rio. It is a modest cinema where the great classics of auteur cinema are shown. Rio is still fighting for a different and authentic cinema, whose sole objective is not only profitability but also culture. The room, emblematic and historical, is also an Art et Essai. You will also find a programme for young audiences, one of the other specificities of cinema, conferences and debates and meet in person some of the great names in cinema!
