Grignoux

Grignoux is a ASBL inhabitant of Li2ege of promotion and cinematographic film exploitation. It manages the cinemas the Park and Churchill in Liege.

These two-Ci project recent films, in subtitled original version, and are devoted in particular to the defense of European films. They are members of the circuit Europa Cinemas, which obliges them to diffuse subsidized films.

Although the rooms of Grignoux belong to the network of rooms known as “Art and Essai” (just like the Park with Charleroi, the Plaza Art with Mons and the Forum with Namur), the goal of this association is not to project cinema out-standard (cinematographic tests, experimental Cinéma or undergrounds, films unusual in the content or the form). In practice, it diffuses cinema subsidized general public.

Association also directs a distributive firm, the Park Distribution , specialized in cartoon films for children (for example Kirikou and the witch ), and proposes, moreover, a film program intended specifically for the public of the schools, for which Grignoux carried out more than one hundred of teaching files devoted to recent films.
