Cinema Arts Centre
2023 Year in Review
2023 was the Cinema Arts Centre's first full year of being open for in-person programming after our pivot to virtual programs during the COVID-19 shut-down and repairs and renovations to our facility, and it has been quite a year!
It is central to our mission to bring the widest range of film programs and cultural events to our community, and we express that through ROBUST programming! Here are just some highlights from 2023 - and remember, all of this is possible because of your support and your engagement. We couldn't have done any of this without you. Thank you!
In 2023, the Cinema Arts Centre:
- Presented 6,233 first-run screenings of over 90 films
- Produced 518 special screenings and events!! (OMG)
- Presented 9 film festivals, including the First Annual Long Island Jewish Film Festival, the Reel Abilities Film Festival, and Iranian Women Revolt!
- Presented over 50 open caption screenings
- Contracted with nearly 50 independent artists
- Sold over 14,000 bags of popcorn
- Presented over 40 screenings in 35mm
