Coffee and Cornell Cinema!

A group of people watching an old movie inside a darkened theatre.

Join the Cornell Cinema team for a special Reunion Weekend open house in Willard Straight Theatre.

Reconnect with fellow alums, share your favorite Cornell Cinema movie memories, and enjoy a selection of vintage movie trailers from our 35mm collection. This is a great chance to learn more about the history of Cornell Cinema and our current program and to revisit the historic Willard Straight Theatre, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

Refreshments will be served, and families are welcome. No pre-registration required.
