In short

The island has two different kinds of cinema. Chain cinemas are in the shopping centers Iguatemi, Floripa Shopping, Beiramar and Multi Open and show the same films as everywhere else. Film clubs are based at the university, foundations and cultural centers, show different films, often for free.

There are more than a dozen theaters and stages in the city, and two of them are public: TAC in the center and Teatro Governador Pedro Ivo on SC-401, and both belong to the state cultural foundation.

Snapshot as of Aug 2026:

There are nine more cinemas and about fifteen stages, listed in the tables below.

On the right to half-price tickets, which is set by law and is not a promotion, see Event tickets — where to watch announcements, where to buy and what to beware of (in Russian); that page also covers resale and refunds.

Outside the city, but close: Arcoplex at Shopping Itaguaçu and Cinépolis at Continente Park (both São José), Arcoplex at Shopping Via Catarina (Palhoça). For those living on the mainland they can be closer than the island ones.

In short: new releases — Iguatemi, Beiramar, Floripa Shopping; something outside the mainstream — Badesc, CIC, Cinema Mundo at UFSC and Teodora in Campeche.

Which stages are public and which are not

TAC and Teatro Governador Pedro Ivo belong to the state cultural foundation, the same owner as the museums MASC and MIS, see Museums by name — federal, state and what is where in Floripa, Rio and São Paulo (in Russian). This means predictable opening hours, discounts and a repertoire that does not depend on the box office.

Teatro da UFSC, Teatro Carmen Fossari and Espaço 1 (Ceart) are university stages, at UFSC and Udesc. Cine Teatro do Sesc Prainha and Teatro Sest/Senat belong to the sectoral systems Sesc and Sest/Senat.

The rest are private or associated with organizations, and the general caveats of the guide apply: here are contacts, not quality assessments.
