HISTORY
The Montpellier audiovisual school : a modern campus on the Mediterranean coast
Since 2020, CinéCréatis Montpellier has been based in the Cité Créative, the city’s dynamic cultural and creative industries cluster. This innovative district brings together schools, businesses and creative centres, providing a stimulating environment for all students of the audiovisual industry.
The 16,000 m² campus has been designed to combine comfort, functionality and creativity. It includes a film set of over 500 m², an exhibition hall, a fleet of state-of-the-art cameras, post-production facilities, a sports hall and a rooftop city stadium, providing a complete living environment.
The school also benefits from a privileged natural environment, with Parc Montcalm less than five minutes’ walk away. This vast 23-hectare green space is the ideal place for students to relax, work outdoors or take part in sporting activities. What’s more, the campus is just a 15-minute walk from the city centre and around twenty minutes from the Mediterranean beaches, combining urban accessibility with close proximity to nature.
