Cinéma CityClub in Pully: the neighbourhood cinema that starts from age 2

A neighbourhood cinema like no other

Set on Avenue de Lavaux, in Pully, the CityClub is much more than a cinema: it is a hybrid cultural venue, blending art-house screenings, concerts and talks. The auditorium, on a human scale (about 200 seats), cultivates an association spirit and a friendly mood. You come for unexpected films, carefully chosen, far from the run-of-the-mill multiplexes. An endearing place, driven by a genuine artistic vision.

What your children will discover

The highlight for families is “Le P'tit CityClub”: “Les P'tits cinéphiles” screenings designed for the very young, from age 2-3, on Wednesdays, Sundays and during the school holidays. On the programme: short films chosen for their quality, an introduction by a team member (characters, animation techniques), and often a little activity booklet to take away. The CityClub also offers “Relax” screenings, in a caring setting for families whose child has specific needs.

What you do there and the atmosphere on site

You get your ticket (online or on site), settle into a friendly auditorium, and enjoy a sharp programme. A lively venue, the CityClub also hosts concerts, including for young audiences. The atmosphere is that of a neighbourhood cinema experienced like a little house of culture.
