“Always overwhelmed by emotions”: before the Cannes jury, Omar Sai gives his name to cinema!

“I was still overcome by the emotion that surprised me yesterday. I admit that I underestimated what this moment could lead to. Words lied to me…“

A weekend marked by Omar Sai’s emotions! As he writes on Instagram, words failed to inaugurate the famous cinema table. “I underestimated all the implications this could have, so I’d like to end my speech…” he wrote.

“Returning to the table with such a welcome was the first gift. Thanks to @trappesofficiel, Mr. Mayor and the entire municipality.

To the Trappists I would like to renew my gratitude for the shared brotherhood and warmth.

To all the young people I spoke to yesterday, thank you for these moments, keep your curiosity and persistence, they will take you beyond everything.

To my family, your eyes fill me with pride

To all the faces you’ve met or seen, I thank you for your presence, your warmth, and above all for this gentle wave of sublime nostalgia.

To my family, your eyes fill me with pride

My brother Jamel, @jameldbbouze you are at the head of this journey which is my journey. Your pride and emotion are powerful fuels. Thanks for all this.

Thank you all for this symbolic tribute, I am very honored and grateful.

In closing, I take this quote from Mr. Mayor’s touching speech yesterday: “Impossible is temporary, nothing is impossible”

After more than a year of work, the Trape Municipal Cinema opened on April 27. The building has been completely renovated, as well as its equipment, to delight the audience.

Omar Sai conveys the humanistic values ​​dear to the city through his choice of films

Due to this renovation, the cinema was renamed “Cinéma Omar Sy – Grenier à Sel” and the projection hall now bears the name of Jean Renoir.

As the city of Trapez noted in a press release, the city “Thus, the spotlight is on one of his children: Born and raised in Trapp, Omar Sy is an actor of national and international acclaim who defends the humanistic values ​​dear to the city through a selection of films and whose quality of work is recognized. With awards such as the César for Best Actor or the title of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.”

Ali Rabe, Mayor of Trappes, adds: “Funded by the city and its partners, this project gives new life to our municipal cinema, making it more attractive and providing the best screening conditions. By renaming it “Omar C – Grenier Celle”, we are proud to honor one of the Trabzons that make our city shine in France and beyond. Our prices remain as modest as ever so that everyone can access the culture: a maximum price of 6 euros, reduced to 5 euros every Monday and Wednesday and 4 euros for children.“

From the table to the Cannes jury

In 2020, at the microphone of AlloCiné, Omar Sai shared this amusing anecdote: “Undergrad year, I was in Cannes and uh… I didn’t take my school bag. But it was worth it.“To experience the Cannes adventure for CANAL+, the French actress took a real risk, which paid off as we find her today on the jury of the 77th edition!

A real blessing for the man who makes his way between France and the United States after the untouchables.

An autobiographical book

At the same time, the actor is also in the limelight with the release of an autobiographical book.

While the series Lupine helped establish his face and talent worldwide, he can be found in the Netflix series Yasuke, which centers on the story of an African who is brought to feudal Japan as a slave and becomes the first non-Japanese samurai in the country. .
