Cinéma Le Club

What Cinéma Le Club does

Cinéma Le Club is a single-hall independent cinema located at 39 rue Berthelot in Douarnenez, Finistère, in Brittany, France. It is operated as a non-profit association (legal name Le Club) with a small administrative office at 4 place du Bicentenaire, and serves the residents of Douarnenez and surrounding communes with a curated, art-house-leaning film program. The venue's catalog extends through August 2026 and is coordinated with the town's signature Festival de Cinéma de Douarnenez, indicating long-horizon cultural positioning rather than blockbuster-driven turnover.

The cinema operates with a team of approximately 7 staff and runs a deliberately low-tech model: ticketing is on-site only, no reservations are accepted, and cash payment is the standard (credit cards are not accepted). Programming is supplemented by outdoor screenings delivered in partnership with MJC Kermabon, extending reach beyond the indoor hall. A dedicated group-booking channel, coordinated by Claudette Leflamand, supports institutional demand from schools and leisure centers.

The business model is built on transactional ticket sales (€7.50 full / €5.00 reduced / €4.00 child), a 5-ticket bundle priced at €25, and an annual membership at €15. There is no app, no online booking, and no digital subscription layer. Revenue is therefore community-anchored and walk-in driven, with the association structure likely supplemented by public subsidies and partnership in-kind support typical of French non-profit cultural venues of this scale.
