🚨 ATTENTION: Our Early-Bird Passes are Now On Sale!
You have until October 31st to access our exclusive deal! While we can't reveal our complete lineup just yet, we are ecstatic to share with you an exclusive rate! #Ottawa #OttawaThingtoDo #OttawaCinema
Our feature film lineup is now live! 💎
Genre Gems will screen nine features from around the globe for its sophomore edition. With two returning sections, the condensed vision for the second annual edition retains the same quality-over-quantity programme mythos!
Finally, with Vanguard Visionaries, the selected films exist within the blurred lines of traditional genre cinema. The films from this section utilise their formal frameworks to discuss heavy, political themes about the current state of our world. 🌎
Tickets and Programme Notes for the selected features will be available starting on Monday, November 2nd at 6 PM EST. All-Access Passes are currently on sale! 🎟️
