“Some people have been coming since they were kids and now they’re bringing their kids.”Īfter two years in construction limbo, they have just moved to their entirely new space in a condo development built by Casman Properties. “It’s always been our goal to provide a variety of films, not just the blockbusters but the little gems and special requests,” Sandy Oliver, owner of Star Cinema, told Victoria Buzz. The now multi-generational cinema has always brought in all kinds of films for its demographic of people of all walks of life, big hits and independent art films alike. They expected mostly teens to be their demographic and were surprised at how many seniors became frequent visitors of the cinema. Star Cinema has been in business since 1998 to provide the small town of Sidney and its neighbouring communities a place to go and see a film without having to go all the way into Victoria.

Star Cinema gives the people of the Saanich Peninsula a place to gather and form a community around film.Īs of last weekend, the theatre is open in their brand new space which includes three screening rooms. The people of Sidney adore their independent theatre!
