About Hyland Cinema

Hyland Cinema is an independently owned and operated art house cinema located on Wharncliffe Rd S in South London. It serves the local community and the broader region as a venue for art house, international, and traditional films. The cinema features a 414-seat single screen equipped with a renovated projection and sound system. The venue offers a diverse programming schedule that includes the most up-to-date releases from the Toronto, Cannes, and Sundance Film Festivals. Its offerings range from international and art house cinema to "Hyland Classics," special series like "Everyone's A Kid," and "Noir Nights." The cinema also hosts special events such as Q&A sessions with guest speakers, film festival premieres, and screenings on 35mm film. For patrons looking for convenience, the business provides gift certificates, memberships that reduce admission costs, and online ordering options. The building has a long history in London, originally opening in the 1930s as the Elmwood. It has served as a first-run art house and a neighborhood cinema, hosting major hits and long-running features like "The Sound of Music." After a period of transition in the late 1980s, the venue was reborn and eventually renamed the Hyland Cinema to reclaim its status as a local landmark. The cinema describes itself as a place that provides a venue for world-class art films while maintaining an affordable night at the movies.
