Author Topic: university owned cinemas Mike Fitzgerald Expert Film Handler Posts: 224 From: Castle Hayne, NC, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-11-2004 02:44 PM                     I am looking for a listing of any movie theaters that are either university operated or leased out by the university or any combination of the two for a research project that I am working on. Thanks in advance  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-11-2004 04:26 PM                     My job inludes managing the projection booth at Mercyhurst College. Our Performing Arts Center is a multi-purpose stage/screen venue owned and operated by the college. We will show 31 Films and will have put on more than 20 other events by the end of this school year. (Not including academic events/lectures.) Although many of our events are geared toward the academic community, most of them are open to the public. Our film series has actually gained quite a following as the "Place to See Movies" that don't show at the local Cinema Googolplex.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-11-2004 05:21 PM                     Wexner Center for the Arts The Ohio State University 1871 North High Street Columbus, Ohio 43210-1393 614 292-3535 Administrative Offices 614 292-0330 One of the Film Curators is Dave Filipi.

Crist Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 531 From: Hershey, PA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-11-2004 11:34 PM                     Last year Gettysburg College in Gettysburg PA bought the historic theatre in downtown Gettysburg which had been triplexed in the 80's. I understand that later this year the college will take it back from the current operator and convert back into a single screen performing arts center. I believe that Bucknell University owns the historic Campus Theatre in Lewisburg Pennsylvania which I understand that they lease to one of their college professors who operates the place as a sort of cinema grill.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-12-2004 02:23 AM                        If you are extending your project beyond North America there is a listing of UK Student film societies at the following link http://www.filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk/?Page=societies  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-12-2004 06:09 AM                        And although ours is not student-run, the university in which our archive is based also operates a fully equipped cinema which runs shows twice a week (one mainstream and one arthouse night), of which I am the licensee. Programming is done by an events management company and the shows are open to the public as well as students.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-12-2004 06:12 AM                        pacific film archive harvard film archive  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-12-2004 06:22 AM                     I forgot Kara McVey's theatre in Delaware, The Strand. It is owned by Ohio Wesleyan University. She used to post here, but I haven't seen her around for awhile.

This is located on the same block as BYU Hawaii, and when I went there it seemed like the whole place including the IMAX was run by those college students.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper! Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-12-2004 11:31 AM                     Just wondering, do university cinemas normally do well? Does it depend on whether it is university owned, or just located on the the university, but independently owned. The university here does not have a theater, and I was wondering, if it had one, would it do any business?  |  IP: Logged
