Murs Peints - Le 7e Art
Murs Peints - Le 7e Art brings cinema into Cannes through murals spread across houses, schools, public buildings, parking lots, and tunnels. You encounter portraits, film scenes, and unexpected references while walking through different neighbourhoods. Together, the painted façades turn everyday streets into an open-air museum celebrating French and international cinema.
The project reflects Cannes’ lasting connection with filmmaking, from the famous festival to the work behind each production. Murals show Jean-Paul Belmondo, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Monsieur Hulot, and figures from films including Taxi Driver and Pulp Fiction. Some scenes honour writers such as Guy de Maupassant, while others depict directors, technicians, cameras, and the equipment behind the screen.
Trompe-l’œil paintings create balconies, windows, and rooms that seem to exist inside the façades. One mural brings Charlie Chaplin and the Kid together, making a street corner feel like a scene from early cinema.
