CineVic is an artist-run society supporting independent filmmakers and media artists with accessible community programming, affordable equipment, professional development resources, and cinematic exhibition opportunities since 1991.

We acknowledge and respect the long and continuing history of the Lək̓ʷəŋən-speaking people, now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, on whose traditional and unceded territory we carry out our creative activities.

CineVic is proud to be the primary supplier of RED Digital Cinema camera rentals on Vancouver Island. Meet our fleet:
