@Xavier Delamarre You wrote that the Arlequin is now the only remaining cinema in Paris to be equipped for 70mm. What about the Grand Action? Do you know when they got rid of their 70mm equipment? My latest inof about it is the Silverscreens.com article from the late 90’s. Thanks

In 1962 this modern cinema was started by filmmaker Jacques Tati. Here he showed his masterpieces like Jour de Fête, in the colour version, and Playtime, on 70 mm. Between 1978 and 1991 L'Arlequin was renamed Le Cosmos and was the official cinema for Soviet films. Nowadays it’s one of the major art cinemas of Paris. Source: Lesecransdeparis.fr.
