Gift Cards • Merchandise • Donations

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,

We're heading into the weekend with two great new narrative films to help you escape from the headlines, including the start of an October full of wild and woolly offerings in collaboration with our friends at Ithaca Fantastik.

We're also continuing the run of the fabulous new Oliver Sacks documentary, and TONIGHT, our friends at Science on Screen and the Coolidge Corner Theatre will be presenting a LIVE virtual Q & A featuring filmmaker Ric Burns and renowned surgeon, writer, and public health leader Atul Gawande, MD, MPH, who is featured in the film. Watch it LIVE via YouTube tonight at 8 pm.

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

NEW VIRTUAL CINEMA

VIRTUAL CINEMA
12 HOUR SHIFT

“Grant’s screenplay builds a Rube Goldbergian narrative of escalating, piled-up crises, from which she also engineers a just-credible-enough exit strategy.”

-Dennis Harvey, Variety

It’s 1998 and over the course of one night at an Arkansas hospital, a junkie nurse, her scheming cousin and a group of black market organ-trading criminals get caught up in a heist gone wrong.

Director: Brea Grant
Writer: Brea Grant
Stars: Angela Bettis, David Arquette, Chloe Farnworth

Presented in collaboration with
Ithaca Fantastik

VIRTUAL CINEMA
THE DARK DIVIDE

“The gorgeous and often forbidding scenery (there’s a harrowing episode set in an underground lava tunnel) should provide a visual balm to those suffering the claustrophobic effects of quarantining. The terrific music score, featuring numerous contributions by The Avett Brothers, feels like a bonus."

-Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

The Dark Divide is based on the true story of renowned butterfly expert Dr. Robert Pyle’s perilous 1995 journey across one of America’s largest undeveloped wildlands.

Over the course of his six-week adventure Pyle battles self-doubt, the grueling trail, and the people and creatures who call this forest home.

Director: Tom Putnam
Writers: Tom Putnam, Robert M. Pyle
Stars: David Cross, Debra Messing, David Koechner

CONTINUING ON VIRTUAL CINEMA

Cinemapolis is partnering with Serendipity Catering and Bar to take our show on the road! Movies on the Backlot brings some of our greatest hits to the great outdoors for a series of socially distanced screenings on the lawn at Serendipity's Backlot.

Guests of the restaurant can enjoy these shows on Friday and Saturday nights. Capacity will be very limited, so come early, and bring a blanket or camp chair! You will be a guest of the restaurant – no outside food or drink, please

Guests can pre-purchase tickets ($10 per person), leave tips for the cinema, and puchase Cinemapolis merchandise via the Backlot's contactless ordering system.

The series continues THIS weekend with Friday and Saturday screenings of Taika Waititi's cult hit vampire comedy, What We Do In The Shadows. These shows begin at 8:30 pm.

COMING SOON TO VIRTUAL CINEMA

Many thanks to those who heard the call over the past two weeks and contributed to our bathroom renovation campaign.

We're now less than $2,000 away from fully funding the project! When we re-open, our restrooms will be a touch-free environment with brand new automatic fixtures. Please consider making a DONATION today to get us to the finish line.

Hope to see you at the movies again soon!

Brett Bossard, Executive Director

The purchase of virtual screening tickets, gift cards, and theater memberships all help support Cinemapolis to compensate the staff throughout this unprecedented time.
