The first Terminal Cinema took place April 1, 2008 at the Pacific Cinémathèque. Hosted by the notorious Bernie Bombay, nearly 2 hours of short films were shown to an audience of nearly 200.
Curated with an eye to providing a venue for local filmmakers who could find no outlets for their work, the evening was a celebration of the underground film of Vancouver and only showed a small portion of the work available. Since that event, streaming video on the internet has become arguably the 'go to' place to watch film be it Hollywood hits or the avant garde.
However the traditional theatrical exhibition is still a vibrant venue to view motion picture work. Particularly the unpredictable element of the audience and the group experience of watching a film. With this second showing we will focus on a shorter program and put an emphasis on the social aspect of the theatre. We hope to see you there.
