A huge congratulations to the team involved which enabled the site to remain open and continue to welcome customers throughout its transformation.”

David Deprez, Artistic Director of Lumière Cinema Restaurant Café: 
“Thank you, ICTA! This award holds great value for our entire team. Our mission has always been to cultivate meaningful cultural experiences within our community, and serving as a dynamic and inspiring meeting place is an essential part of that commitment. We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to spread the love for arthouse cinema from such a beautifully restored, monumental building, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Therefore, this recognition is also a testament to the dedication of everyone involved in the creation of the cinema, including our outstanding technological suppliers.
