Cornell Cinema is one of the leading campus film exhibition programs in the country and an integral part of the fabric of campus life at Cornell. The cinema presents more than 75 films each semester and features an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic titles from around the globe. Working in collaboration with partners across campus and beyond, Cornell Cinema seeks to spark conversation, inspire innovative thinking, and advance interdisciplinary teaching through collective encounters with the art of film.

Support Cornell Cinema

Cornell Cinema has been in existence since 1970 and for five decades has broadened the horizons of tens of thousands of students and community members. We rely on annual assistance from individual donors to present a high-caliber program year after year, and to remain nimble and responsive to rapidly evolving technologies & circumstances that change the ways films are released and experienced.

A donation from you, large or small, will help us continue to offer the wide variety and quality of films patrons have come to expect from Cornell Cinema, as well as present the increasingly important live events (visiting filmmakers, live music/film performances) that bring people into the theatre at a time when there are so many alternative ways to view a film on its own.

Click here to visit our donation page for more details on giving options and particular needs.

 

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ leadership. You can learn more about Cornell University's Land Acknowledgment through the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program website.
