FILMS SHOWING Friday March 23 to Thursday March 29

We sell advance tickets online for all our films!



The rumours are true. WE ARE FULLY LICENSED AT THE TWIN! You now can enjoy a drink while you watch a movie, if you are of age! We are currently stocking Steamwhistle, Wellington S.P.A., Stella Artois, Brickworks Cider and Waterloo Grapefruit Radler (2.5% alcohol). For wines, we have Niagara Region Pinot Grigio and Cabernet-Shiraz. 

And what about the movies we have on offer? This Friday at the Twin we open The Leisure Seeker, starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland as an aging couple who hit the road for one last ride in their beloved RV. Also at the Twin is a weekend of new French (and French-Canadian) cinema, co-sponsored by AFKW. At the Original we continue The Party and we also open the delightful Meditation Park, a bittersweet comedy about a devoted Chinese-Canadian wife and mother in East Vancouver whose life and family are forever altered after she discovers lingerie in her husband's pocket, forcing her on a journey of truth and liberation.
