About Us

Who are we?

cinéSARNIA is a not-for-profit charitable volunteer group dedicated to bringing quality Canadian and international films to the city of Sarnia. The organization operates in conjunction with the “Film Circuit“, part of the Toronto International Film Festival Group. The “Film Circuit“, which is based in Toronto, is in partnership with distributors to assemble a list of films twice a year from which the associated groups select their programmes. Currently, it consists of approximately 100 communities across Canada, of which 45 are in Ontario.

What do we do?

cinéSARNIA screens 11 films each year of different genres and nationalities during the regular season, running from September to April. Special presentations are held from time to time to engage members of the community. The membership has risen steadily since its inception in 1995, with a current total of over 600.

We welcome new members. Anyone wishing to subscribe to the 2021-2022 season may do so by completing the order form available on this website (under the Downloads tab) and mailing it in with a cheque to the address indicated on the form. Or by dropping it off in person to the people at the theatre desk on any screening night.

Our Community Involvement

As a not-for-profit organization:

cinéSARNIA collaborates with the Forest Film Festival in contributing prize money to the LaFFF Youth Short Film Competition.

cinéSARNIA also donates $1500 for the annual Celebration of Youth (COY) Scholarship operated through the YMCA.

When finances permit, cinéSARNIA donates varying amounts to local charitable organizations operating in the Lambton County community.

cinéSARNIA regularly donates complimentary seasonal tickets to local charitable organizations to assist in their fund raising events.
