Lovers on the Run - March 6 - April 2, 2025

In movies and in life, the desire for money and the desire for love can sometimes intertwine in unexpected ways. If every love story is a potential crime scene, then the romances depicted in Calgary Cinematheque’s Lovers on the Run series take this theme to the hilt.

Surrealist Experimental Hallucinatory: Short Films of the 1920’s w/ Live Score - April 10, 2025

Who Are We?

We are a non-profit film society dedicated to presenting significant, challenging, and essential works of cinema art in Calgary. 

Our season runs year round, with screenings happening bi-weekly, in curated programs which situate each film in a thematic and historical context.

We do this because we believe cinema is an essential form of artistic, social, and political expression. Audiences should be able to engage with a wide range of cinematic expression, not only with what is commercially viable. We believe in the power of sharing these experiences with other people in a theatrical setting and we strive to cultivate a community around that experience.
