Subject: 🎥 Cinemapolis - The Big Screen is BACK - Showtimes & Openings for 7/2 🎥

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,


A huge thanks to everyone who came back to the movies last weekend. It was a joyous and cathartic way to begin the celebration of THIRTY FIVE YEARS of Cinemapolis in downtown Ithaca. The longest hiatus in the cinema's history is officially over, and we're able to resume operations thanks in large part to a very generous landlord (thank you Cayuga Green!), the REMARKABLE Federal relief from the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (thank you Senator Schumer!), and the continued support of devoted Cinemapolitans like yourselves.


We're not back to normal yet, but the road toward recovery looks very good.  Thanks to you all for being there through the lean times and for all you'll do to help us get going again this Summer. 

OPENING FRIDAY, JULY 2

ALL LIGHT, EVERYWHERE is an exploration of the shared histories of cameras, weapons, policing and justice. As surveillance technologies become a fixture in everyday life, the film interrogates the complexity of an objective point of view, probing the biases inherent in both human perception and the lens.


DIRECTOR: Theo Anthony


Winner: Sundance 2021 Special Jury Prize for Nonfiction Experimentation

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park).  The footage was never seen and largely forgotten–until now.


The feature includes never-before-seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and more.


DIRECTOR: Questlove

Cinemapolis at Home

As you may have noticed, there's a rather large construction project set to begin all around the cinema. Starting July 1, the ground level parking lot between us and City Hall will be permanently closed 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.

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
