MATINEES: EXPANDED CINEMA FOR FAMILIES 2026

MATINEES: EXPANDED CINEMA FOR FAMILIES 2026

Matinees is an open, flexible space in which cinema expands: the cinematographic experience spills out of the screen and invites your active participation, regardless of your age.

The white cinema screen—that flat, opaque surface—is also a place to plunge into, to dive down to unsuspected depths. It can spill out of the sides, splashing and soaking everything around it, rising up to the ceiling and raining down from above. The images can adopt unimagined forms: unspeakable, immeasurable. We can watch them from a seat, or alternatively lying down, arm in arm, scattered across the room. Even with our eyes closed. We can touch the light, feel its colours, listen to it like a whisper, like a song. And we can do all of this together, in a room with no seats, no tickets and no popcorn. We believe there are many ways to watch cinema that have yet to be discovered. To explore them, we’ve invited various artists and filmmakers to imagine what those ways are and what other type of cinema has yet to be experienced. The Matinees take place on Saturday mornings and each session will be different: a proposal, an experiment, a challenging experience. We invite you to come with your best friends, your siblings, sons, daughters, dads, mums or grandparents and discover cinema like you have never imagined it. You’ll find all the details and session times here very soon, but for now here are the sessions dates and guests.
