Cinéma Arvor is a movie theater in Rennes with a history of relocation linked to programming conflicts and changing facilities. Histoire reports that it was previously located in an old patronage hall on rue Saint-Hélier and later moved to 29 rue d'Antrain after a conflict with the diocese about programming. In 2021, it relocated again to rue de Châtillon near Rennes train station in order to use five rooms instead of two.

The cinema is managed by a volunteer board chaired by Patrick Fretel and directed by Eric Gouzannet. Its programming is handled by Ciné-diffusion. Cinéma Arvor also serves as a venue for festivals and partnerships, including screenings for Caméras Rebelles, the Travelling festival, and the national animation film festival.
