We’ve been working on the new Cinemapolis movie theater in Ithaca for the last 5 months and on June 12th it opened its doors to the public.  To open a non-profit independent film theater at a time like this is an ambitious project and a gamble for city development.  But the new theater looks fantastic and it has immediately established itself as one of Ithaca’s new great artistic and creative homes.  If the crowd from opening night is any indication, the gamble on this project will pay off.  

Despite everything that a home theater, downloadable movies and popcorn on your sofa can offer, there is something about going to the movies that’s irreplaceable.  And no matter how hard I try, I can never get my popcorn to taste as good as the kernels from Cinemapolis.    Congratulations to Lynne, Rich and the rest of the Cinemampolis family.
