30TH ANNIVERSARY

2013 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Film Group’s Cinematheque!

The theatre began programming independent, classic and Canadian cinema on weekends at the NFB theatre Cinema Main in January of 1983. A move into Artspace in 1986 soon led to the addition of 35mm projectors, digital projection and new seats, which allowed us to expand our programming. The theatre is now recognized for its outstanding commitment in supporting the work of Winnipeg and Canadian filmmakers and a diversity of programming choices. It is as necessary now as it was then. Throughout the year we will host a series of special programming events to recognize our achievements. Join us in the celebration and thank you for supporting us for 30 years. All anniversary screenings will be accompanied by a draw for prizes!
