Chanel’s connection to the world of cinema dates back to its founder, Gabrielle Chanel, who worked with leading filmmakers of her time and supported artists across the industry. This legacy continues today through Chanel’s various initiatives that preserve film history, foster new talent, and provide community access to the medium. In partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Chanel is supporting the Academy Museum’s Family Matinee screenings, making them free to the public throughout March. The initiative aligns with Chanel and the Academy Museum’s shared mission to celebrate cinema and create a space for cultural connection.
