CINEMA AND EVENT SPACE RENTALS
Toronto film fans will know and love CineCycle, an underground cinema and bicycle repair shop opened by Martin Heath in 1991 and housed in the coach house at 401 Richmond since 1994. CineCycle has been an essential part of Toronto’s indie and experimental film community since its inception. In order to steward that legacy into the future, the CFMDC recently took over management of CineCycle’s operations. CFMDC@CineCycle marks a new chapter for this historic space—a place where cinema and cycles continue to co-exist.
