About

WHAT IS CINEMAPOLIS?

The first answer is simple: we are a first-run movie theater located in the heart of Downtown Ithaca, specializing in independent, foreign, and locally-produced films.

But more than that, Cinemapolis is a community cultural institution where the art of film is used to enrich people’s lives, grapple with and illuminate contemporary issues, and, of course, to entertain.

OUR MISSION

The Seventh Art Corporation of Ithaca, a non-profit media arts organization, encourages central New York residents to explore the power of film to entertain, educate, and to celebrate the human experience.

Seventh Art is dedicated to providing our community with the best in new international and independent cinema. Since its formation in 2000, The Seventh Art Corporation owned and operated Ithaca’s downtown movie theaters, Cinemapolis and Fall Creek Pictures–and now houses five screens under one roof at the new Cinemapolis.

Cinemapolis is deeply grateful for the donations from individuals and the grants we receive from foundations and government agencies that make our work possible.

Programming at Cinemapolis is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
