Though the Sudbury Indie Cinema will have to move it’s location after the building it was housed in was sold, Beth Mairs, lead programmer and former executive director of Sudbury Independent Cinema Co-op, told Sudbury.com she is feeling optimistic about the theatre’s future after a membership meeting on May 13, held in their current space at 162 MacKenzie in downtown Sudbury.
The cinema is located in the former gymnasium of Ecole St. Louis De Gonzagues, which at the time of the Indie’s opening was operated by Red Oak Real Estate of Red Oak Villa nearby Ste. Anne Road. Possible new locations At Knox Hall, the Indie would stay downtown, something Mairs said she believes is important. Film showings would likely occur from Sunday to Wednesday, with the concerts of Knox Hall filling the rest of the week. There is, however, a drawback to the space: it won’t fit their projector, which would leave them limited to the format of films they could show. They would also have to purchase a retractable screen.
For instance, at Knox Hall, the cinema would be open around the current concert schedule. At Thorneloe, the Indie would become the tenant, meaning they would “be able to maintain the level of programming that we have now, operating seven days a week, as opposed to a part-time basis,” said Mairs. “That's quite significant.
Where it began The official grand opening was June 23, 2019, but the idea for an independent theatre was born in early 2014: the Sudbury Indie Cinema Co-op.
