Cinemapolis - Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater

ADVANCE TICKETS • Merchandise • Donations

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,

A quick reminder that we are doing everything we can to ensure a CinemaSafe experience for staff and patrons alike as we come back to the movies. Following CDC guidance, and aligning with recent advisories from the Tompkins County Department of Health, we are continuing to require facemasks for ALL patrons, regardless of vaccination status, in all common areas of the cinema.

Patrons may remove their masks when seated and enjoying snacks in their screening room. Seating in each auditorium is limited to 50% of total capacity to allow patrons to sufficiently distance their party from other guests.

We have two new additions to our slate this weekend, so you'll want to get in before then to catch No Ordinary Man and Summertime. Their limited engagements end on Thursday, August 5th!

Ithaca Fantastik fans should also take note - we have TWO collaborations this weekend: one in theater, and one on our virtual cinema platform!

OPENING FRIDAY, AUGUST 6

ANNETTE

139 min, R

A years-spanning musical melodrama drenched in greens and yellows, scored by oddball art-pop duo Sparks and based on their original story, Annette marks Leos Carax's first English-language film.

Henry, a towering stand-up comedian, and Ann, a world-famous singer, are living life happily in the spotlight until their world is upended after the birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious little girl with a peculiar talent. Carax imbues his sixth feature with grandiose compositions, an exhilarating sense of movement, and a turbulent emotional register—alternately moody, beguiling, effusive, and hilarious—all the while toying with established genres in the most thrilling ways imaginable.

DIRECTOR: Leos Carax

CAST: Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg

NINE DAYS

124 min, R

Will (Winston Duke) spends his days in a remote outpost watching the live Point of View (POV) on TV’s of people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on earth. Soon, several candidates – unborn souls – arrive at Will’s to undergo tests determining their fitness, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable.

Making his feature-film debut after a series of highly acclaimed and award-winning short films and music videos, Japanese Brazilian director Edson Oda delivers a heartfelt and meditative vision of human souls in limbo, aching to be born against unimaginable odds, yet hindered by forces beyond their will.

ITHACA FANTASTIK PRESENTS:

THE SUMMER OF SLEAZE

Seven Summer Saturday Nights featuring
Repertory Titles from the Vaults!

DEF BY TEMPTATION

95 min, R

Joel grew up in the church but has recently started questioning his beliefs. After sensing a supernatural presence from his deceased father, Joel becomes compelled to visit his cousin in New York. But shortly after arriving, they become embroiled in a series of mysterious homicides of local men, all of whom were last seen in the company of a mysterious and beautiful woman.

Beautifully photographed by Ernest Dickerson (DO THE RIGHT THING) and starring Kadeem Hardison (I’M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA) and Samuel L. Jackson (PULP FICTION), this sole directorial effort from child actor James Bond III is a macabre, neon-tinged portrait of late 1980s Brooklyn.

The movie blends supernatural horror and religious mysticism, punctuated by an electrifying hip hop and R&B soundtrack. Newly restored from the original 35mm camera negative!

Restoration courtesy of Troma Entertainment and the American Genre Film Archive.

As you may have noticed, there's a rather large construction project that has begun all around the cinema. The Green Street Parking Garage has been temporarily closed and the ground level parking lot between us and City Hall has been removed as work begins on the Asteri Ithaca project.

This phenomal mixed-use project will add four new levels of parking, a brand new conference center, and more than 200 affordable workforce housing units to downtown. It will also make getting to the cinema a little more challenging for a while.

For the duration of the construction, we're recommending that all movie-goers park in the Cayuga Street garage and take the Creek Walk to the crosswalk on Green Street that leads directly to our door. Direct access from the Commons is detoured through scaffolding near Harold’s Square and toward City Hall.

If you need to drop off another patron, there are passenger drop off spots located just past the crosswalk in front of Urban Outfitters.

Be sure to leave a little early for your next trip to the movies, so you don't miss out on the great previews!

Hope to see you at the movies again soon!

Brett Bossard,
Executive Director
