Where do I buy tickets?
There are no advance tickets, only passes can be bought ahead
of time. Tickets for that day's screenings are available half
an hour before the first showtime of the day. Passes can be
bought for $60 at Black Dog Video (3451 Cambie St. Vancouver),
and include the price of the Cinematheque membership of $6
(see question below) if you do not already have one. You will
still be required to fill out the appropriate membership form
upon entering the theatre.
When is the best time to buy tickets?
It is best to arrive half an hour before the screening, or
if possible, stop by at the first screening to buy tickets
for later ones that night.
Why do I have to buy a Pacific Cinematheque
membership in order to see the Cinemuerte films?
By purchasing a yearly membership, you not only are entitled
to great obscure films for a year, but you are also in effect
joining a private club. In doing so, the films you see are
not required to be passed through the ratings board for review,
because you are no longer considered 'the public', and have
waived your rights to be protected by classification Board
guidelines. All this means is that we can show films like
Cannibal Holocaust
without getting in trouble. If you were not a member, it would
be legally prohibited for us to be showing you these films,
as ratings are required for all films accessible to the public
in Canada. The membership is $6, but this enables the Cinematheque
to keep bringing in expensive, obscure films, and sometimes
special guests. Please note that if you purchase a CineMuerte
PASS, your membership fee is included, although you will still
be required to fill out the appropriate membership form.
Where do I find the latest updates on any
show changes or events?
Check this site often. Shows that are cancelled get posted
on the site, as well as in the Cinematheque lobby and at Black
Dog Video (3451 Cambie St. Vancouver).
What happened to the old Cinemuerte site?
We are currently remaking the site, making it more dynamic
and easier for you to navigate. We will repost the Cinemuerte
magazine info and other news within a few weeks.
