What We Do

Formerly Metro Detroit's only truly independent movie theater, Cinema Detroit is a non-profit community-based cinema arts organization presenting creative cinematic events where members of the Detroit and Metro area populace can feel comfortable and engage with a broad range of worthwhile filmed art experiences. Cinema Detroit exists to provide access to a wide variety of films, including commercial/first-run films, independent films, and those for and by those who have been historically excluded from the film industry, including but not limited to women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and people with disabilities.
