We are still the only first-run movie theater in Greater Downtown and we are still committed to making the moviegoing experience as accessible to as many people in the City and the Metro Detroit area as we can, while presenting as many films and film-related events as possible.
Cinema Detroit has never had the grant support that other area cultural institutions enjoy (not for lack of trying). Tickets and concessions are our main sources of revenue, and as stated above, we keep those as reasonably-priced as we can.
But It's no secret that movie audiences haven't rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. Folks just aren't buying as many tickets as they have in the past, and if they don't come into the theater, they aren't buying concessions.
That's where you come in.
Financial support is the most effective way to help Cinema Detroit survive and thrive into the future. Donations to Cinema Detroit are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor Allied Media Projects and help us to cover expenses like rent, maintenance, insurance, and so much more. Thank you for your support! |

AFTERSUN is nominated for 5 Film Independent Spirit Awards: Best First Feature, Best Lead Performance (Paul Mescal), Best Breakthrough Performance (Frankie Corio), Best Cinematography, and Best Editing. Director Charlotte Wells won the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award at the Gotham Awards.
At a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie treasures rare time with her loving and idealistic father, Calum (Paul Mescal). Twenty years later, Sophie's tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful and heartrending portrait of their relationship, as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn't, in Charlotte Wells’ superb and searingly emotional debut film.
"Charlotte Wells' promising debut feature plays with memory as a tool and lets its story unfold in dream-like waves." — Detroit News
"This mesmeric debut will make you want to stay suspended in its sun-baked setting with its two captivating lead characters for far longer than the runtime. A triumph of new British filmmaking." — Empire
Certified Fresh  at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes |

Fernando Trueba's MEMORIES OF MY FATHER
starts Friday, December 2 = to the 8th
A Cinema Detroit exclusive |
|
| From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Fernando Trueba (Belle Époque), MEMORIES OF MY FATHER is based on the true story of prominent doctor and human rights activist Héctor Abad Gómez (Javier Cámara). In the polarized and violent Medellín of the 1970s, Héctor is concerned about both his own children and children from less favored classes. We watch through the eyes of his only son as Héctor dedicates himself to the greater cause of public health programs for the poor, to the consternation of the city’s authorities. |

"Memories Of My Father is a vivid portrait of a smart, principled, kind man...making it another topical Oscar contender” — Deadline
“An absolutely winning performance...genuinely moving.” — The Arts Desk |
