CINEMA I/O IS THRILLED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RETURN OF ART HOUSE THEATER DAY 


Cinema I/O is thrilled to announce the return of Art House Theater Day on Thursday, July 25th. Cinema I/O will join independent theaters all over the country in celebrating the art house community and its commitment to preserving the power of cinematic storytelling.


Art House Theater Day is an annual program of Art House Convergence (AHC) that brings audiences together to celebrate all that art house theaters - and independent film - contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires. 2024 marks the fifth Art House Theater Day, which launched in 2016 in more than 150 cinemas across the country. In addition to programs like Art House Theater Day, AHC offers networking opportunities, resources, and best practices to independent exhibitors at large.
