Nelson Civic Theatre Society (NCTS) is the sole tenant and operator of The Civic Theatre, and manages this facility as a cultural media arts centre. As a registered Canadian charity, through film and art, we help to shape the culture of our region with thought-provoking conversations and diverse storytelling, because, at the end of the day, connection is forged through shared experiences. That's why we exist; to entertain, enlighten, and spark our imaginations.Today, NCTS is a cinema-primary cultural connector and charitable organization that brings great ideas to our community and puts great ideas out into the world. Through our original location at The Civic Theatre as well as our second space, 225 Hall Street (home of Reo's Video and The Shoebox Theatre), our many accessible programs for the community and the films we show seek to reflect the vibrancy and passion of the people of Nelson, making us a home for everyone in our city and the greater Kootenay region.NCTS is also the home of the Kootenay Screen-Based Industry Workers group and a founding partner of the Kootenay Regional Film Commission, which aims to bring major film projects to our rural region of BC.
