Deckchair Cinema 2025: Summer of Sci-Fi

You are invited to enjoy classic films under the stars on Cates Deck in front of the Gallery. Now in its fourth year, Deckchair Cinema treats audiences to a summer of al fresco film screenings. Hosted for nine Thursdays beginning July 3, the screenings commence at sunset, and will be complemented by music and entertainment leading up to curtain time. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and make themselves comfortable by bringing their own blankets or low chairs.

This summer, The Polygon is boldly going where no gallery has gone before and will be screening the greatest sci-fi films ever made. Admission to Deckchair Cinema is by donation, courtesy of BMO Financial Group, and includes popcorn as well as access to the Gallery's summer exhibition Star Witnesses, a cosmic journey through art and history.
