Last updated date : 05/06/2026
A place for reflection, knowledge-sharing, and discussion about cinema, the Institut Lumière regularly hosts leading figures from the cultural world.
On Wednesday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m., the Institut Lumière is pleased to welcome Jacques Aumont, one of France’s leading scholars and authors specializing in film studies. To mark the release of his new book *À quoi sert le cinéma?*, he will engage with the audience on a topic that is more relevant than ever:
“Thinking About Cinema in 2026.”
A film critic, academic, and author of numerous works on cinema, he is a leading figure at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University, the École des hautes études en sciences sociales, and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts.
Combining reflection with the pleasure of the big screen, this evening aims to bring together the analysis of images with the cinematic experience, in a setting that is both convivial and stimulating.
Discussion followed by a screening of Steven Spielberg’s *The Fabelmans*
