– after a first film at the normal price, films at participating cinemas cost €2.50, down from €3 last year. On watching a first film you will receive a Fête du Cinéma bracelet giving access
to the discounts for subsequent ones. Sponsor BNP Paribas is offering the chance to win an extension to the offer period until July 4 with an online game at: BNP Paribas competition Among
