Cinema Detroit, the movie theater on Cass Avenue in Midtown that promotes itself as "Your Indie in the City," is moving to spot about 1.1 miles away, the Detroit Free Press reports.
The theater, which has screened alternative films in two auditoriums at the former Burton International School for the past two years, is moving operations to the Furniture Factory performance space at 4126 3rd St., just south of Willis, beginning next month, reports John Monaghan for the Detroit Free Press.
Monaghan writes:
Theater organizers Paula and Tim Guthat plan to have two auditoriums outfitted with new digital projectors up and running by Oct. 1 in their new location, which is closer to the heart of Detroit's thriving Midtown area. Until then, they will continue to screen films in the Burton space, which is about half a mile away.
“The theater will all be on one level, so it will be (Americans with Disabilities Act)-compliant, including a handicapped-accessible bathroom,” Paula Guthat says about the new 1,800-square-foot space. “We also want to have a cafe where people can meet before or after to discuss the movie or just hang out.”
With the closing of the Ren Cen 4 in June, Cinema Detroit is the only movie theater in or near downtown Detroit that shows first-run movies nightly.
