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

Opening this Friday, we're proud to bring you Michael Apted's 63 Up. Considered one of the most ambitious film projects ever, the Up series began in 1964 with a group of 7 year-olds from different British class backgrounds. Every 7 years, the filmmakers have checked in with the participants, and the insights and revelations have been remarkable. This year's edition is no different. Even if one is new to the series, it's a truly special movie-going experience, which we highly recommend. (Special note: The Princess has been screening this series since 28Up, 35 years ago! Special, indeed!)

Seems like everyone has been waiting to unlock the power of mushrooms with the documentary, Fantastic Fungi! Advance tickets are selling fast for all of these screenings, get yours as soon as you can to see a film that Roger Ebert.com is calling "One of the year's most mind-blowing, soul-cleansing and yes, immensely entertaining triumphs."

Iconic throw-back films screening this week include the return of Studio Ghibli's My Neighbour Totoro and the science-fiction classic (based on the legendary Carl Sagan's novel) Contact. The opening sequence of Contact on the big screen is worth the price of admission alone!

Back by popular demand! The Song of Names now playing at the Twin (from the director of The Red Violin, Francois Girard.)

Get ready for the Oscars with more screenings of the nominated films! Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, & the Live-Action & Animated Shorts all continue and we finally have Knives Out! Thanks for waiting to see it with us! Then on Sunday, come watch the 92nd Academy Awards with us on the big screen, for free! Register your seat here, then bring a donation to the cinema in support of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region! Good cause, great night!

NEW EVENT: February 19th with Pretty Strong... Feature-length doc follows 5 women climbers around the world as they explore new climbs and push the boundaries of the sport. Hit the image below to get tickets! This one is on track to sell out soon! Co-presented by Grand River Rocks.

FILMS SHOWING Friday Feb 7 to Thursday Feb 13

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.

Leonardo: The Works

“The prolific Exhibitions on Screen strand takes a step away from its normal practice of surveying specific gallery spaces by assembling a virtual exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings in a way no art gallery – not even the Louvre (currently showing seven) – can manage.

Midway

"'Midway' tells a story that's vividly and viscerally rendered, with all the entertainment value of a big, old-fashioned war movie, cutting back and forth between the home front and front line." - Washington Post

"If you’d like to get all your Second World War Pacific naval history in one place, pay a visit to Roland Emmerich’s Midway. Midway opens in 1937 with Admiral Yamamoto warning American military attaché Edwin Layton (Patrick Wilson) that nobody puts Japan in a corner, or words to that effect. Cut to Dec.

All My Sons - National Theatre Live

Jan 18 & 19, 1pm. Filmed live from The Old Vic in London and presented in encore screenings at the Playhouse, Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias, Lincoln) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) star in Arthur Miller’s blistering drama All My Sons.

America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks, Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home, raised two sons and established a thriving business.

Moulin Rouge

“A delightfully quirky, irresistably intoxicating arthouse musical. Baz Luhrmann draws from influences as diverse as Bollywood to grand opera, abd the result is a gaudy, opulent, invigorating spectacle that, while committing to celluloid some of the kitschiest moments in 'mainstream' film history, never loses sight of its muse.

Present Laughter - National Theatre Live

Feb 1 & 2, 1:00pm. Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter.

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

Downhill

Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus star in a remake of the 2014 Swedish Hitchcockian ski-slope art thriller... "It questions what holds families together and what adulthood means in a time of indefinite self-fulfillment. It's unflinching and really funny too." - The Nerdist

Billie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Pete (Will Ferrell), and their sons are on a balcony during an idyllic family ski vacation in the Alps when an avalanche suddenly strikes. While they all emerge physically unharmed, Pete’s actions during the avalanche reveal a side of him that leaves his family in a state of shock.
