Movie Showtimes

All movies are screened after sunset, so times may vary during the year, but usually the gates open at 17h30 and movie screenings start at 19h00. It is recommended to arrive early, so that you can reserve your seats and can also enjoy our lounge, food and drinks onsite.

Since the cinema is outdoors, you will be exposed to the weather elements so dress accordingly. Like most outdoor events, Ciné sous les Étoiles screens whether rain or shine, please check the weather forecast in advance and be prepared for the Mauritian weather. Screenings will only be cancelled if there is persistent heavy rain or dangerous, unsafe weather.

If a screening is cancelled due to bad weather, it will then be postponed to a new date and the same movie can be watched or another movie screening can be selected.
