The last independent cinema in Paris, La Clef, located in the 5th arrondissement, is threatened with closure due to a dispute with the owner of the building.
So to save the establishment, the room decided to organize sessions from 6 a.m. to midnight to the delight of the spectators.
In Paris, the last associative cinema, La Clef, is threatened with closure.
So the room, which is 50 years old, mobilizes its spectators with sessions from dawn.
While Paris is still sleeping, a long queue of spectators, with small eyes, forms in front of the cinema.
Matisse and Cyann attend these morning sessions as often as possible to support the historic room.
"I came to watch a little movie before work. It's easier to get up at 5 a.m. for that than at 7 a.m. for work," says the young man, all smiles.
Her friend agrees: "I was already there yesterday at 6 o'clock. It's not that complicated. It's cool to start the day like this."

Daily screenings from 6 a.m. to midnight
For the past three weeks, the projections have been running from six in the morning to midnight.
And the personalities of the seventh art too.
Valérie Donzelli, Adèle Haenel or director Leos Carax.
An impactful mobilization for Claire Emmanuelle, from the La Clef Rivayveul collective.
"What we are asking for is mediation with the owner of the building, the Caisse d'Epargne, who never wanted to discuss with us to show them how much, in fact, our project has had to sense", she explains at the microphone of Europe 1.
The president of the collective is satisfied with the first 15 days of mobilization.
"We had answers from the Ministry of Culture and the greatest directors came. For us, that means a lot."
The town hall of Paris also supported the cinema to avoid the last session.
