Built in 1976 under the name of Cinéma La Cité, this was the first cinema complex with more than two screens in Montreal. Cinéma du Parc today has more than 40 years of experience. It has a very good reputation in the region . By organizing retrospectives, thematic cycles, festivals, national weeks and premieres, the cinema succeeded, and still succeeds, in reaching many Montreal filmgoers, both French and English-speaking, and also several cultural communities in the greater Montreal area.
