The theater was clean, the seats were comfortable, and the sound was good. Staff was friendly and patient when I arrived before my wife and son, especially since tickets can only be scanned once. Concession prices were about what you'd expect at a movie theater. If you're seeing one of these special-release movies, bring some extra loot for the collector's swag. It's easy on and off the highway, with plenty of food options within a mile. One of the better places in the area to catch a movie.

The parking had check-in on arrival . Entering the cinema there was a quaint concession stand that supports local breweries, LOVE THAT ! I enjoyed a Kent Hills Pilsner "The Hollow"- a clean, crisp, and hoppy canned beer . Reasonable prices for freshly popped popcorn topped with REAL butter . Cookies , candies other goodies for sale. This cinema is a non profit organization run by some awesome people . It was a pleasure supporting such a wonderful event and local community.

ORIGIN: The site of the Bantam Cinema & Arts Center is said…read moreto be the oldest movie theater in Connecticut. A local grocer, Domenico Evangelisti, opened the then named Rivoli Theater in 1929. Apparently equally visionary, the owner of neighboring Bantam Ball Bearing Company had periodically entertained employees with silent movies, and sold the projector to Evangelisti's son before shifting manufacturing out-of-state to be near the emerging South Bend automobile industry. CONCEPT: Their vision has since been sustained by local aficionados of the arts -- most recently a dedicated group of community members who established non-profit status for the historic theater in 2021. EXPERIENCE: Expect to see viewers reconnecting and chatting before and after the showings. The Cinema remains a community space. TIP: Enjoy dinner, sweet, and/or drink at neighboring restaurants -- La Catrina, Arethusa, Materia.

The movie we saw was pretty entertaining, too. We were in a small theater seating maybe 40 people including several for handicapped visitors. The seats recline easily and we liked that. There is a large attached swing arm that holds drinks and food. The concessions aren't cheap (were they ever?): Popcorn prices are between $9-13 depending on size, drinks $7 and $8. Free refills come with the largest sizes. Matinee tickets are $11. You can buy tickets online or at the theater. The men's restroom was spotless, the women's room a little less so, but not dirty. Overall a good experience.

Cinestudio is an independent film theater that opened on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford,…read moreConnecticut in February 1970. It was founded by a group of Trinity College students that included Peter Stott, Ted Kroll, Peter McMorris, Charles Rumsey, James Hanley, Anne Risdon, Larry Stires and Randy Man. The group of film-obsessed students made a home for themselves in a little-used lecture hall inside the Clement Chemistry Building. The room, unfortunately, possessed troubled acoustics. Within two years, and with the help of Ralph Mauro from National Theater Supply and Lonny Jennings at Dolby, the sound issues were rectified and the room was transformed into a recreation of a 1930s film house. The grand opening (a double feature of "Alice's Restaurant" and The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine") was sold out. Cinestudio screens a variety of second-run, independent, foreign, and classic films. The single-screen venue has a seating capacity of approximately 485, 4K Digital Cinema systems, as well as 35mm and 70mm film projectors for use in studio archive presentations. Cinestudio features a spectacular gold Austrian screen curtain that rises at every show, real balcony seating, and the gold lion courant insignia. I recently visited Cinestudio for the first time. I read about it and an online article and couldn't believe that I had never heard of it before. I parked in a small parking lot on Summit Street and followed the sign which led me through a stone archway. As I walked along the Main Quad, I saw the neon color-changing lights of Cinestudio. Entering Cinestudio is a blast from the past. I purchased my ticket at the Fred Pfeil Memorial Ticket Booth (only $10 a show) and then headed to the concessions area where I purchased a giant bucket of popcorn for only $5. A volunteer told me, "The balcony is nice, but if this is your first time here then I recommend the lower level. You can hear the sound system much better." The interior of the theater was absolutely gorgeous with red accents. The film that I was seeing during my visit was the 1978 remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": part of the theater's ongoing series "Our National Nightmare: 2026 Anxieties in 1970s American Film". Many screenings at Cinestudio are introduced by a guest speaker; this one featured Roger Benham. Although I have seen this film a number of times before, this was my first time seeing it on the silver screen....and it was so much more frightening now. This was my first visit to Cinestudio, but it certainly won't be my last!
