Make Your Event Memorable

To book the theatre, please send an email to manager@citycinema.ca

Include your name, the date and time you’re interested in showing the film, the film you’d like to show, the runtime, and any additional requirements you may have for your screening. 

If you’d like to do a screening that’s open to the public we can assist you in acquiring the license to screen a specific film.

We normally take rental bookings one month in advance.
