Cinematique Film Series

For 150 years the community has enjoyed live theatre on the beautiful Thalian Hall Main Stage. In the past decade, we have added the excitement of watching the Main Stage transform into an art film house, as films are projected onto a large screen framed by Thalian Hall’s historic proscenium.

Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, Inc (THCPA) and WHQR Public Radio work hard to bring our audiences the best art house film experience in Wilmington. The Cinematique Film Series offers independent and notable films from the United States, the UK, and all around the world. Cinematique has consistently brought films that are generally not screened in our area at the local multiplexes. With the emerging recognition of independent film by the Golden Globe and Academy Awards, we are often in the position of providing the only opportunity to see awards-nominated films before those events take place.

Our concessions includes fresh popcorn, snacks, desserts, and a full selection of fine wines and beers as well as fresh coffee provided by Port City Java.

Most Cinematique films are screened at 7:30PM, Monday through Wednesday. Occasionally the days and screening times are adjusted for special showings, holiday screenings or to accommodate other events in the building.

Cinematique Films are chosen by the Cinematique Film Committee, comprised of staff of Thalian Hall and WHQR, as well as community members. The roster of films is usually chosen for a two-month period, on the basis of quality and appropriateness, as well as availability to our venue and market. If you would like to suggest a film for consideration by the Cinematique Film Committee, or would like to send a comment regarding a film you saw at Cinematique, please use our Cinematique Contact form.

A pre-show slide presentation featuring information, news and featured content is available for inclusion of your organization's message. Click here for more information.
