Northern Anime Festival is fairly cheap. I think their rates are about $30 for a weekend pass. It's fairly small at around a couple hundred people though.

Do University theaters not count? There are some pretty large University theaters in Canada, even up here in Thunder Bay.

I dono ... i assume they would, but i don't think it would be quite the same impression as going to see amvs in like a Galaxy or Cineplex theatre.

Considering the quality issues of magnifying it on such a huge scrren and 7.1 is overkill for almost all AMVs, I think a University huge lecture hall theatre is just as cool

yeah, i guess most CDs are just stereo ... but you could make the entry lossless pretty easily by converting it from lossless to .vob, then then person in charge of running the show could just rip them onto a hard disk and play them from there. It's pretty simple really ... hm, how much does it cost to rent out a theater for a day?

I have no idea for a normal theater. But a University theater would cost us around $400 for a 500 person theater + Equipment costs.
