In 2008 the City Cineastes started an underground film series in a clandestine location in Aurora. 14 films were screened including Across The Universe, Harold and Maude, Blood Simple, The Gleaners and I, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The Haunting, Secrets and Lies, In the Time of the Gypsies, Round Midnight and Salaam Bombay! The group suspended operations in June of 2009 for lack of a lawful venue.
