About us
Halifax's only independent cinema
Carbon Arc is an independent, art house cinema in downtown Halifax.
We show great films every Friday at 7pm during our winter (February - April) and fall (October - November) seasons. We also occasionally offer special screenings outside of this schedule. Our long term plan is to grow into a cinematheque, offering nightly film screenings.
We are mostly volunteer run, with a cast of characters including our Board of Directors, a projectionist, the cinema director, a crack programming committee, and great volunteers who help run each screening.
Our Programming Committee is passionate about screening a variety of foreign, Canadian, and local selections that will inspire, spread beauty, and expand Halifax’s cinema to include regular access to independent and limited release films. Our current focus is on new releases, though we do occasionally partner to screen classics or special screenings.
Run By film lovers, for film lovers
