GUIDE TO OUTDOOR FILMS
CinéTransat offers free outdoor movies from Thursday to Sunday in July and August at the Perle du Lac Park. Bring your own chair or picnic blanket. Snacks and drinks available for sale. Movies begin at 22:00 in July and about 21:00 in August (as night falls).
Enjoy the “soirées à thème.” Once a week, dress up as characters of the movie showcased or dress the part of the theme. Some movies are dubbed in French.
The free Spoutnik film cycle showcases art house films and non-commercial movies on a rooftop terrace by the Usine. Spoutnik also offers indoor films starting in September.
The restaurant, Brasseries de Halles de l’île in the city center offers one week of “classics,” free, starting at 21:30.
The Plan-les-Ouates commune offers a few free, outdoor films. Head to “La Promenade” with a chair or picnic blanket. Food and drinks for sale.
The Ciné en Plein Air or Cinema aux Franchises, offers family-oriented and adult animated films at the Franchises Park located between Châtelaine & Rte des Franchises, until the end of July. Free and curated by Animatou; films begin at 21:00.
Salt Cinéma at Port Noir is a more upscale option. Forget picnic blankets here, this is a full cinema by the Lake. To celebrate its 25 years of existence, all tickets are only CHF10.
