Excentris
Excentris was a performing arts center and cinema located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal, Quebec. The complex was conceived by Daniel Langlois as a laboratory for digital media production as well as a screening venue. It was opened in June 1999, after 2 years of construction, and covered.
Excentris ran into financial difficulty in 2009 and was forced to shut down two of its three cinemas. However, it was revived as a three-screen complex in 2011, with the help of a $4 million loan from Quebec provincial film funding agency SODEC.
The centre closed its doors on November 2015, citing financial difficulties. Cinéma Parallèle, the non-profit organization that ran the center, fell under bankruptcy protection in May 2015.
