Calgary Movie Theatres
Historically a place to view alternative films in Calgary, the Plaza Theatre now shows first-run, Hindi, and art house films. The Plaza Theatre is located in Kensington, across the Bow River from downtown Calgary.
Showing first-run films that tend towards art and international film, the Uptown Stage & Screen is a Calgary landmark. The theatre itself consists of two spaces - a 474-seat theatre and a 354 seat theatre. The Uptown displays fine art deco architecture in the heart of downtown Calgary.
Features of this theatre include 14 screens, party rooms, wheelchair accessibility and concessions including Yogen Fruz. Located near Calgary's Sunridge Mall, the theatre shows the biggest new films.
