About Us
The Winnipeg Film Group was founded in 1974 and is a charitable, non profit organization dedicated to promoting the art of cinema.
Through our Cinematheque, we promote the art and provide opportunities for film appreciation that would otherwise not be available within Winnipeg or Manitoba. We are the only cinema house in Manitoba that places a priority emphasis on presenting the works of local, Manitoba and Canadian filmmakers. Our Cinematheque has been a Winnipeg staple for over 25 years and has a strong commitment to community access and participation.
We acknowledge the generous, ongoing support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council and the City of Winnipeg through the Winnipeg Arts Council. We also acknowledge the vital support of all our other funders, sponsors and donors.
