Jan 2 - 9: World's Best Commercials and the best movies!

WE SELL ADVANCE TICKETS TO ALL OF OUR SCREENINGS, JUST SCROLL DOWN AND SELECT A FILM AND SHOWTIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

For over 30 years the Princess has been presenting the best of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Formerly known as The World's Best Commercials, this has been a long-standing annual event that's highly anticipated by its legion of admirers. See what the best and brightest in the advertising world are up to, and have a grand, entertaining time while you're at it!

Catch Exhibition on Screen with Leonardo: The Works (Jan 3 & 4 at the Original.) One of the best and most-talked-about films of the year, Parasite, continues its highly successful run with us at the Twin. Many pundits are predicting it will get a Best Picture nomination, so don't let its title (or subtitles) put you off seeing this outstanding film! Also, we're giving you another chance to see The Irishman on the big screen (the only place to see it), Jan. 2 at the Original.

Last chance! We have limited tickets for the *prorated" FILM TALK pass. The monthly moderator is Thom Ernst, former host of TVO's Saturday Night at the Movies. There are 5 more in the monthly series; the next Film Talk is this Wednesday, January 8. (Our first in the series in December was a pre-release screening of Michael Apted's 63 Up. A very lively discussion with a sociologist from University of Waterloo followed. It was a great kick-off to the entire series and we can't wait to present our next "secret" film and guest speaker!)

FILMS SHOWING Thursday Jan 2 to Thursday Jan 9

The Irishman

STC

"Of course, Scorsese delivers a stunning, gangster flick but The Irishman is so much more, a melancholy eulogy for growing old and losing your humanity. Savour every one of its 209 minutes, you won't regret it." - Empire

ONE SHOW ONLY! Last chance to see it on the big screen! Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino, The Irishman catches all of them in a ruminative, reflective mood looking back over decades.

Waves

14A

“In classical Hollywood cinema, most movies rush forward, like a river or roller coaster, along a steady course toward a certain objective.
