Step into a nostalgic yet modern cinema experience at Cinéma Lyn in the charming riverside village of Fort‑Coulonge. Whether you’re catching a movie or attending a local performance, this lovingly restored theatre offers a welcoming and memorable evening out.

  • A restored classic with community roots
    Originally opened in 1953, Cinéma Lyn was a local favourite for decades before closing in 2013. It was beautifully revived in 2022 by Jane Toller—local business owner and MRC Pontiac Warden—bringing back its small-town charm with updated digital technology and heritage touches.
  • Intimate yet versatile venue
    With about 100 seats, a new stage for live shows, and modern sound and projection systems, the theatre hosts both first-run films and community performances in English and French.
  • Seasonal programming & events
    Open from May through October, Cinéma Lyn features a mix of blockbuster films and special events, including holiday screenings and local comedy or music nights.
  • Affordable & accessible
    Tickets are reasonably priced—typically around $12 for adults and $8 for children, with discounts on Mondays. The venue is also wheelchair accessible, with a rear entry ramp and accessible washrooms.
  • Why it’s worth a detour
    After a day in the forest or by the river, wind down with popcorn and a movie in this cozy local landmark. It’s the perfect low-key evening outing—just a short drive from Wildwood.
