Great experience, the Black Harvest Film Festival was wrapping up and the final film was Black Girl - fabulous space, intimate and comfy theaterwith multiple screens. Great location. Pay to park, use a parking app. Do not pay full price to park at a nearby garage, use Spot Hero or Park Chirp.😉 Good popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿.

Great place to catch a picture! The variety of films they have rotation is absolutely bonkers! This place was built for a cinephile! I was pleased to find out they serve dark matter coffee!! The staff are an absolute delight and the chairs in theater are comfortable! I will definitely be purchasing a membership and plan to bring friends! The land acknowledgement before the movie started was really weird but no biggie!

Glad to have a spot where limited releases films are shown! Very clean cinema. In the midst of busy State Street. The only reason not 5 starts is they didn’t have concessions - I feel that’s half the fun of a movie… even a box of candy and pop ! maybe cause of Covid? But also I did not find the chairs comfortable. They are soft chairs BUT the back is firm straight , maybe they were so new they didn’t have much “give”. They did lean back , but you had to force it. Great sound! Crisp bold Dolby

Exceptional place to see a film and always has great programming. Good seating and the visual fidelity is consistently good. Always appreciate a theater doing both film and digital screenings.

SAIC arthouse theater featuring indie, international and old films. The theater and seats are clean. I fav is the quiet the cafe space where you can go and hang out before the movie. Being right across the street from the Chicago theater, it’s the perfect spot for people watching!
