Cinéma Omnia République

Cinéma Omnia République, locally known as L'Omnia, is a French movie theater located at 28 rue de la République in the center of Rouen, in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy. It is classified as an "art et essai" (art-house) cinema, a designation in the French film exhibition system for venues that emphasize independent, auteur, and non-mainstream programming. The cinema is accessible by several bus lines and the first three TEOR lines at the République stop. The current building was constructed in 1952, replacing L'Alhambra, which had been destroyed by the June 1940 fire and the bombings of the Second World War. In 1966, L'Omnia was sold to the Société nouvelle des établissements Gaumont (SNEG). In 1973, after several months of work, L'Omnia Gaumont became a multi-screen complex; its four screens made it the "grand centre cinématographique de la Normandie." The municipality of Rouen bought and redeveloped it in 2010 so that the city center would still have a cinema after the Gaumont-Pathé opened in the Docks 76. The building then regained its original name, and it is now operated by the NOE Cinémas group. The Omnia frequently offers previews and meetings with directors, screenwriters, and actors. From 2020, it closed for major works to refresh the building, rethink the layout of the screens, and establish a cinema café for the public upon reopening. During this period, film screenings took place at the halle aux Toiles. After a two-year project costing 7.8 million euros, the renovated building was inaugurated on 7 September 2022. The Omnia has eight screens with a total of about 1,200 seats, is fully accessible to people with disabilities, and after its renovation hosts the largest screen in Normandy.
