Jun 14th, 2022

This fresco pays homage to many builders, promoters and creators who played a role behind and in front of the screen. Sherbrooke movie history is almost as long as cinemas. In December 1896, the residents of Sherbrooke could watch the fi rst cinematographic projections provided by the Lumire brothers. Since then, several movie theatres have been the meeting places for Sherbrookes cinema lovers, including the Cinma de Paris, the one illustrated here which closed its doors in 1987. The original site was located a few short steps from the murals location.
