Our series
Passionate about the seventh art, the Cinéma Public team proposes daring thematic series that will allow you to explore Montreal and Italy, to discover works that have remained in obscurity for too long, to experience cult films after dark, or to see cinema from a feminine perspective.
FIKAS 2022
For its fourth edition, the FIKAS joins forces with Cinéma Public to present a series of Scandinavian horror films: a happy mix of classic and cult films, more recent critical and commercial successes and little-known gems.
Petits cinéphiles
At Cinéma Public, we firmly believe that cinema can contribute to the education of children. This is why every Sunday, in the late morning or early afternoon, we program a screening for the whole family.
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.
