Cinéma Caméo Ariel

Cinéma Caméo Ariel (also known as Caméo-Ariel) was a movie theater located in Metz, in the Moselle department of the Grand Est region of France. It opened on 31 January 1973 and closed on 29 August 2018, after 45 years of operation. The cinema was a well-known gathering place for film lovers in Metz and was closely associated with the city's cultural life. It occupied a building originally constructed between May 1913 and April 1914 by architect Robert Dirr for the sale of fabrics, on the site of the former Simon bank; the building was known as the former silk palace (ancien palais de la soie). Constructed during the German annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, it features triangular rontons and Ionic columns. The cinema had four screens and had belonged to the city of Metz since the 2000s. It was replaced by a new cinema, Le Klub, located at 5 rue Fabert, which opened on 30 August 2018. The Caméo-Ariel screened many films in preview, from comedies to tragedies, and its closure was felt as the end of an era by many residents. Its final film was "Mademoiselle de Joncquières" by Emmanuel Mouret. The building's future after closure has been a subject of public discussion.
