Arenberg Creative Mine is an innovative site inaugurated on September 25, 2015 by director Costa Gavras and his wife, producer Michèle Ray-Gavras. This former mining site, emblem of the World Heritage Mining Basin of Unesco since 2012, has been the subject of a major reconversion carried out by La Porte du Hainaut, to become a pole of excellence in image and digital media. More than 21 million were invested, including 4.5 million in audiovisual equipment.
Thanks to its very complete equipment, filmmakers can now make a film in its entirety; companies and specialized agencies can also organize their professional and public events there. In 2018, the site continues to evolve: hosting companies, valuing the heritage journey, etc.
