Le CinéMo
Launched in 2025 with the goal of bringing cinema to those who don’t usually have access to it, the CinéMo mobile cinema travels throughout French towns and cities to offer free film screenings with no admission fee. Designed to share a passion for cinema with as many people as possible, it screens bold and inclusive films and complements its screenings with educational workshops and introductory film sessions tailored to all audiences.
CinéMo plans its tours in collaboration with municipalities, intermunicipal associations, and local organizations, primarily in rural areas and priority neighborhoods.

The Island of the Dead, Benjamin Nuel, 2018 (8 min)
A journey beyond time, from an ordinary apartment to our final destination, guided by Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld. The horizon is the same for everyone—unchanging, inevitable. The question has always been the same, throughout all civilizations: What comes next? Is there even anything at all?

The resources
Introducing the mobile cinema
Born out of a desire to bring cinema to those who have little access to it, CinéMo travels throughout French communities to screen bold and unifying films, create spaces for dialogue and exchange, and share a passion for the art of cinema with as many people as possible.
Designer interviews
With this mobile cinema, Camille Chardayre, co-founder of Prémices and Co, and Jean-François Aimé, Creative Director, propose a response that is at once formal, sensitive and committed, echoing Jacques Tati's humanist vision: "Cinema is a pen, paper and hours of observing the world and its people.
Guided by this approach, they imagined a mobile cinema designed to go out and meet audiences, in a spirit of observation, listening and proximity. Their approach is in line with a desire to make culture accessible, particularly in isolated, rural or suburban areas. The choice of "fresh butter" yellow - a warm, familiar color, inspired by public service vehicles - is a strong visual signal, capable of uniting and creating a direct link with users. This luminous yellow, identifiable throughout France, transforms the truck into a comforting and welcoming cultural landmark. They designed a simple, monolithic, satin-finish shape, marked by geometric flat tints, that asserts its contemporary identity while remaining rooted in a tradition of service. The subtle contrast between yellow and violet, an absorbing and soothing color, enhances the cinematic experience, giving this traveling cinema an atmosphere that's intimate, comfortable and open to all.
"Mobility and making culture accessible are among the missions we support through our projects, and here, for the first time, through a mobile object such as the CinéMo. [...] Reaching out to audiences who aren't city dwellers is a creative commitment we're committed to, with the social and solidarity mission that this implies." Jean-François Aimé
