Finale Screenings of the Monarch Documentary
CLICK HERE to purchase movie tickets for “Your Cinema Needs You” at the Monarch Theatre playing May 30th through June 2nd. Evening and matinee shows now available!After more than 2 years in production, a sold out premiere run, and an ongoing international film festival tour through 2024, the feature-length documentary about one of Canada’s most underrated cinematic landmarks is returning to the cinema at the heart of this story, the Monarch Theatre in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The finale screenings will mark the conclusion of this multi-year project, and are an exclusive opportunity to return to the Monarch Theatre, experience the largely untold history of one of Canada’s last surviving cinemas of the silent era from within its auditorium, and be among the first audiences to see “Your Cinema Needs You” while it’s still only available in select theatres as part of its international film festival tour. 

Directed by Luke Fandrich, the 2 hour and 15 minute documentary traces the origins of the Monarch Theatre, the rise and fall of its direct competitors, and the cinema’s evolution over 112+ years since it first opened its doors on December 21, 1911. “Your Cinema Needs You” features newly uncovered images, artifacts, and exclusive interviews from individuals spanning the Monarch’s history, including former usherettes, managers, projectionists, moviegoers, and more! Book your tickets now to experience the start of the Monarch Theatre’s next chapter.
