Cinemapolis - Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater

ADVANCE TICKETS • Merchandise • Donations

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,

2021 is a milestone for Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater—it's been 35 years since Lynne Cohen and Rich Szanyi founded Cinemapolis as a single screen art house cinema in the basement of Center Ithaca. Rich passed away at the end of 2020, just a few days after his 75th birthday.

Please join Lynne and other members of the extended Cinemapolis family this Saturday, July 10th at 2pm as we remember our co-founder at a Memorial Celebration of Life for Richard A. Szanyi. Bring your favorite memories of Rich and your love of the movies for this special afternoon event.

With four new movies on the way, you'll want to get in before the weekend to catch All Light, Everywhere, Dream Horse, Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It, Summer of 85, and Werewolves Within. They all have their final screenings on Thursday, July 8th!

OPENING FRIDAY, JULY 9

THE LONELIEST WHALE

THE LONELIEST WHALE is a cinematic quest to find the “52 Hertz Whale,” which scientists believe has spent its entire life in solitude calling out at a frequency that is different from any other whale.

As the film embarks on this engrossing journey, audiences will explore what this whale’s lonely plight can teach us — not just about our changing relationship to the oceans, but to each other. Executive Produced with Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier and directed by Joshua Zeman.

Directing duo Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp were nominated for the NEXT Innovator Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival for deftly weaving together elements of dark comedy, teen romance, shoot ’em up action, and a classic coming-of-age story.

CONTINUING IN THEATER
(Click image for showtimes)

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
