A local group organizing around reviving the Vogue Cinema in downtown Sackville is now working with the new owner of the beloved cinema.
Thaddeus Holownia of the Tantramar Cultural Collective says the group has met with John Ernst, one of the new owners of the 78-year-old cinema.
“John is very keen to see the Vogue remain as a theatre and as a cultural space,” says Holownia. “And so now we’re in discussions to see how we can arrive at helping him make that happen.”
Holownia says what the group hopes to see happen with the Vogue is “very abstract at the moment,” but the collective will work towards, “a cultural venue that many people can use.” Top of mind for Holownia is bringing the Sackville Film Society back to Sackville. The weekly alternative film series has been showing at the Amherst Theatre since the fall of 2023.
