We were honored to welcome Senator Charles Schumer to the cinema on Monday for a presentation on the many ways the recent COVID relief packages will benefit the Southern Tier region.

Majority Leader Schumer was a champion of the Save Our Stages bill, which will be providing grants to independent cinemas, live theatres, and cultural venues all over the country to help us return to normalcy after a year of closure due to the pandemic.

Watch for Senator Schumer on the Senate floor sporting his new Ithaca is Gorges and Cinemapolis face masks!

CONTINUING ON VIRTUAL CINEMA

For the first month of our new Private Movie Party program, party hosts must provide their own Blu-ray or DVD to screen.

Negotiations are underway to add a rotating selection of newly released films as an option in future months. Pending updates to state guidelines for movie theaters and the return to a regular release schedule of new films, Cinemapolis will re-open for regularly scheduled public screenings at some point this Summer.

Hope to see you at the movies again soon!

Brett Bossard,
Executive Director
