SCREENINGS AT THE CINEMATHEQUE

The Cinematheque 
1131 Howe Street (between Helmcken and Davie)

We will be presenting seven in-person screenings, which will include a specially curated program of the media arts works of the Latin-Canadian filmmakers Jorge Lozano and Alexandra Gelis, who will be in attendance from Toronto.

In order to follow health protocols and keep the audience safe, each person must have a ticket (no passes). Only 40 tickets will be sold per event and the Cinematheque has blocked off seats in groups of two for safe social distancing. All attendees are requested to wear masks when inside the lobby and cinema, if they are able to do so safely. We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets in advance to reduce interaction at the Box Office.

Before arriving, please check out The Cinematheque’s current Health & Safety protocols.
