Our series
The Cinéma Public team offers thematic series that will allow you to explore Montreal and Italy, to marvel at amazing pictures with your family, to discover groundbreaking works that have remained in obscurity for too long, to be enthralled by the craziest films, or to see cinema from a female perspective.
Petits cinéphiles
At Cinéma Public, we firmly believe that cinema can contribute to the education of children. This is why every weekend, in the late morning or early afternoon, we program a screening for the whole family.
Front Facing Camera
Each of the films in this series, in its own way, bears witness to the realities of young people here and elsewhere, as well as to the possibilities and problems raised by new digital self-representation practices.
cELLEuloid
cELLEuloid is a monthly series of films directed by women and women-identifying people. It aims to create a space to showcase all genres and levels, from classics to cult hits to Montreal premieres!
Les insomniaques
Giving free rein to their instincts and whimsical desires, this series is distinguished by crazy and uncompromising films for the most reckless filmgoers.
Voyages in Italy
In a nod to Casa d'Italia and its home in Little Italy, this series invites you to travel to the four corners of the country, along real and surreal paths.
Neighbourhood stories
A screen in Montreal should show Montreal on-screen! This series embodies our local and community spirit by featuring films that are shot or directed by local artists.
Underexposed
Poorly distributed, suppressed, censored, forgotten, unknown — the “Underexposed” series aims to bring to light films that have remained in the shadows for far too long.
