THE NICKEL is home to the most subversive, bewildering, sensational, fearless, sublime, shocking, transgressive, death-defying, psychedelic, psychotronic, bizarre, rebellious, baffling, degenerate cinematic treasures - from the silent era to the digital age.

Each evening of programming is carefully curated - with films chosen to spotlight a film talent, a forgotten genre or a theme.

Special screenings are supplemented by introductions, programme notes and panel conversations.

THE NICKEL is committed to analog screenings - giving audiences the increasingly rare experience of seeing original 16mm film prints projected, along with VHS and digital.

Our atmospheric basement bar serves cold beer, wine, cocktails and freshly cooked popcorn.

Meanwhile, our shop features rare physical media for sale: vinyl soundtracks, film literature, lobby cards, original screenplays, memorabilia and merch.
