The screenings referred to in 6° of Article L. 214-1, which consist in the performance of long-running cinematographic works, may only be organised after authorisation has been granted by the President of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée under conditions laid down by decree.
This authorisation is granted taking into account the date of issue of the cinema licence, the location and number of screenings, the social and cultural interest of the performances and the local situation of the cinema.
When these screenings are organised by the associations and groups mentioned in 1° of article L. 214-1, the limit provided for in Article L. 214-2 does not apply.
