Cinemapolis - Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,

Summer is unofficially underway, albeit a little differently than usual. We won't have the Ithaca Festival this weekend, so why not check out some new virtual cinema offerings instead? Three award winners join our slate starting Friday!

These new movies arriving does mean that we need to make some room, however. If you haven't yet checked out The Booksellers, Crescendo, Dying for Gold, or A Good Woman is Hard to Find, hop to it! They're only available through the end of the day tomorrow, May 28th.

As always, the full listing of all current and upcoming virtual films can be found on our Virtual Cinema page.

OTHER VIRTUAL ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS

We're not the only local theater (or theatre) that has been forced to go virtual. Our friends in the live performing arts community have some great arts-at-home options as well:

The Hangar Theatre is offering a Virtual Main Stage Season featuring their usual mix of classics, musicals, and regional premieres.
The Kitchen Theatre Company has launched a series of Virtual Reading Fundraisers. Their next one, featuring Karl Gregory is scheduled for June.
The State Theatre has given us some remarkable live-stream concerts, including a John Prine Tribute and a Bob Dylan Birthday Salute. More to come this summer!
