Hello! We have a little bit of good news and a little bit of bad news!
The good news is that Carbon Arc is growing! We have already exceeded the number of attendances we had for the entire year of 2024 and we feel closer than ever to our goal of opening a permanent cinema!
The bad news is that, with the increased ticket revenue and attendances, we have tipped over the tax free threshold that we have been operating at, ever since we first started up 15 years ago.
That's not all. It's also now an unavoidable fact that our operating costs have increased and we need to increase our ticket prices to keep up. The instances where we are failing to break even on distributor screening fees alone, even when we do well, are becoming more commonplace. Long-term patrons will know that we haven't increased ticket prices in almost a decade. Unfortunately, this has caught up to us.
On June 1st, 2025, ticket prices and punch pass prices will rise.
A single ticket will be $11.40 at the door, and $12 online ($10 to us, after deducting tax and online booking fees).
Six-Punch Passes will be $58 at the door, and $60 online ($8.50 per punch to us, after deducting tax and online booking fees).
We are currently investigating other potential discounts! Please stay tuned.
Punch Passes and Ticket Prices will remain at their original cost for the next week! All Punch Passes and Tickets purchased before June 1, will still be valid for Carbon Arc Cinema screenings after June 1.
We welcome you to buy in advance and save before we raise prices on June 1st. We have put every ticket in June up online so you can take advantage of the original prices while they last.
THANK YOU so much for supporting us. We're terribly sorry it's a double whammy: ticket price increase plus the addition of tax. We remain committed to our nonprofit community values and ever-grateful of your support!
The June program is out now!

Carbon Arc’s behind the scenes boss died April 7th, 2020. We were so lucky to have him order us around and keep us sensible. He was the best.
Tiny’s favourite album was Superchunk’s On the Mouth. He would race around whenever it was on. That alone makes you a technician in most jurisdictions.
Thank you for joining us to watch movies and helping to keep art house and independent cinema alive and strong for the last 14 years!
