City Cinema opened September 28, 1993 with a screening of Strictly Ballroom and for over 30 years it has been a home for film in Charlottetown. It’s a place where audiences discover new stories and people come together through the shared experience of watching films together.
The Charlottetown Film Society, a member-supported, non-profit organisation, has owned City Cinema since 2019. Become a member and follow the Film Society on Facebook for news, events and behind-the-scenes updates, and City Cinema on Facebook for all the latest movies.
City Cinema is your cinema… supported by the community, shaped by the people who walk through our doors, and dedicated to film in PEI.
