About Us

The newly renovated Cinematheque is an intimate movie theatre devoted to screening the very best in Canadian and world cinema. More than just screening films, we also provide artist talks, panel discussions and special events to feed the minds of cinema fans.

Cinematheque has been operated by the Winnipeg Film Group for over 26 years. The Winnipeg Film Group was founded in 1974 and is a charitable, artist-run organization committed to promoting the art of cinema. We have a special focus on supporting Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canadian filmmakers, and our Cinematheque programming reflects this value of supporting home-grown artists.

  Cinematheque is located in the heart of Winnipeg's historic Exchange District, across the street from Old Market Square. We're on the main floor of the Artspace building at 100 Arthur Street at Bannatyne - one block west of Main. See map...

We operate year-round, with screenings Wednesday to Sunday (we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Our box office is open 1/2 hour before show start. See screening schedule...

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.
