Cornell Cinema warmly welcomes group bookings for all screenings and special events. Organizers have the option to pre-book tickets for a select film/special event or to arrange a block of tickets to be available to a specific group of people for a particular period of time. We request that you kindly contact us at least one week prior to the event you wish to attend to ensure adequate time for arrangements to be made. 

Payment for group bookings is required in advance. We accept cash, check, or can process credit card payments on site Monday through Friday between 10am and 5pm at our Cornell Cinema offices. Direct billing is also available for Cornell departments.

Please contact us at cinema@cornell.edu or 607-255-3522 to discuss a group booking. We look forward to welcoming your group to Cornell Cinema!

Cornell Cinema has wheelchair and companion seating inside its theatre as well as a lift to move from the outer to the inner lobby. Patrons with mobility impairment are encouraged to use this lift, as there are a number of stairs down to the inner lobby and the theatre entrance. The inner lobby also includes an accessible, gender-neutral washroom.

Cornell Cinema also has assistive listening headsets and closed caption readers available for checkout at the Box Office. Not all titles include descriptive audio or closed captions, but those that do will have this information noted on the individual film’s page within a week of its showdate. To access one of these devices, please contact a member of our student team when you arrive at the cinema.
