Plaza-Art

Plaza-Art (also known as Plaza Arthouse) is an arthouse cinema located near the Grand-Place of Mons in Belgium. It opened in 1994 within the walls of the former Plaza cinema, which had been created in September 1937 under the name Patria. The cinema is a member of the European network Europa Cinemas, which supports the European film industry; other Belgian members include Le Parc in Charleroi, Les Grignoux in Liège and Studio Skoop in Ghent. Its programming is not aimed at experimental or underground cinema but rather at subsidised arthouse films accessible to a broad audience, mainly recent European productions shown in their original version with subtitles. Each year Plaza-Art organises around thirty previews and offers about sixty national releases. At a rate of ten screenings per year, it also programmes classic films in digital reproduction, selected by the Royal Belgian Film Archive. The cinema receives subsidies, notably from the French Community of Wallonia-Brussels amounting to 120,000 euros per year between 2023 and 2026. The official website lists current and upcoming screenings, including films such as Le Vertige, Edmond & Lucy, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, La vie d'une femme, Chopin, Chopin!, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Garance, Raison et Sentiments, Blue Heron, Rencontres du troisième type and others, with ticket links and showtimes.
