Who We Are:

Metro Cinema is a community-based not-for-profit society devoted to creating and fostering opportunities for the exhibition of diverse, unique shared viewing experiences in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

We Believe:

Film and media arts are significant art forms.
Film and media arts are a means of communication, discussion, and education.
In providing opportunities for diverse communities and programming.

What We Do:

Metro Cinema programs a diverse blend of film and media arts by presenting educational, independent, cultural and innovative works.

We facilitate engagement and interaction between audiences and the content through unique shared experiences.

We provide opportunities for the public to curate programming, and partner with community groups to host film festivals and special events.

Metro Cinema operates with the ongoing assistance of a large volunteer base, keeping our programming as affordable as possible for our patrons.
