"La Bobine is a very useful app and website as you can check directly what's playing and when without having to check multiple cinema sites. In French, une bobine literally means a reel or spool, referring to the material and mechanical roots of filmmaking. Based on your location, it can find cinemas near you and when the different showtimes they offer. It works for big cities like Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and also Brussels in Belgium."
"It's also handy if you are looking for VOST showings - in France foreign films are shown either VF ( version français, meaning that it is dubbed into French) or VOST ( version originale sous titrée, meaning it is in its original language with French subtitles). Most cinemas have only a couple of VOST screenings, with the rest dubbed, so if you're looking for a film in its original language, at a time that is convenient to you, you might have to search several cinemas."
"The app and website's main goal is to act as a cinema guide tool and discover movies from both independent and mainstream theatres. You can filter the options depending on your preferences: genre, new and old releases, language, family friendliness, rating. You can also see which theatres take subscription cards (ex: UGC Illimité, Pathé CinéPass). If you enjoy going to the movies quite often, these subscriptions will allow you to get discounts on ticket prices."
