La Strada roving cinema
The association La Strada cinéma itinérant was created in 1990 in Lacoste. Screenings are put on in around twenty different villages in the region for art house and general public films, documentaries or heritage films in village halls or the open air with the support of the local authorities and the CNC (national cinema centre).
In Ménerbes, screenings every Friday evening, in summertime on request, in the open air at the Place de l’Horloge, and also on the occasion of the Italian cinema festival.

Every year the Jane Eakin Foundation organizes the open air Italian Film Festival at the Place de l’horloge. It attracts large crowds with its high quality programme paying tribute to producers such as Vittorio de Sica, Roberto Rosselini, Ettore Scola, or actors like Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Ingrid Bergman, Lino Capolicchio or (in 2021) Dino Risi, Vittorio Gassman and Silvana Mangano.
