Calgary Cinematheque

Who Are We?

We are a non-profit film society dedicated to presenting significant, challenging, and essential works of cinema art in Calgary.

During our season, which runs from October to April, we screen films weekly, in curated programs which situate each film in a thematic and historical context.

We do this because we believe cinema is an essential form of artistic, social, and political expression. Audiences should be able to engage with a wide range of cinematic expression, not only with what is commercially viable. We believe in the power of sharing these experiences with other people in a theatrical setting and we strive to cultivate a community around that experience.
