Film concerts and film music in Paris

34 film concerts & scores concerts in Paris, across 23 venues — 3 of them free. Listings updated on .

A film concert is a format of its own: a film projected on a large screen while its score is played live by an orchestra, an ensemble or a solo pianist. It calls for a room equipped for both, which is why only a handful of venues offer it. In our upcoming listings the Grand Rex leads clearly, ahead of La Seine Musicale, the Zénith, the Accor Arena and the Philharmonie de Paris — each approaching the format differently, from heritage cinema screen to symphonic hall.

Two families share the bill. Symphonic blockbusters first: a recent feature accompanied by a full orchestra, in a large room and usually on a single date. Repertory screenings second, often silent films with piano or a small ensemble, in more intimate settings. The programme title tells you which one you are getting, and the running time is nothing alike: the length of the film in the first case, a concert format in the second.

This page gathers every film concert announced in Paris, sorted by date, with venue, start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. These are among the most family-friendly evenings in the catalogue, often programmed at weekends, and large halls sell by seating category: the price we display is the lowest entry ticket recorded, while the seat itself is chosen on the ticketing site.

One last practical point: these shows are produced once and then toured, so they are announced well ahead and the calendar leaves time to organise a group. Conversely, a given production rarely returns within the same season: once the date has passed, the next tour is the next chance. Each listing names the film and the ensemble performing.
