The GOODS from The Cinematheque

Vancouver, BC | The Cinematheque presents the beloved ’80s sci-fi hit Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, screening from a vintage 35mm print for a single weekend matinée this Sunday, April 17 at 1pm.

To save the world from a mysterious alien probe, Captain Kirk and his crew must travel back in time to 1986 San Francisco to retrieve the only species that can communicate with it: the now-extinct humpback whale! Directed by the late Leonard Nimoy, The Voyage Home is a fun, slightly absurd (Spock vs punk, anyone?), family-friendly hit with a big-hearted environmental message.

“Going to The Cinematheque is the closest thing to visiting Manhattan without leaving Vancouver …. Its program is as innovative and entertaining as any you’ll find in New York.” David Spaner, The Province

“For the true cinema lover who appreciates foreign and independent retrospectives, restorations, experimental films, and rare or obscure works, the Cinematheque is a necessity.” Craig Takeuchi, The Georgia Straight

“Cinémathèques now take on a job parallel to what museums do with painting and sculpture.  They assemble, sort, analyze and exhibit the culture of the world.”  Robert Fulford, The Globe & Mail
