cinema

Grab your popcorn, downtown Indianapolis’s first art-house cinema will open its doors just after the start of the new year.

Taking a dip in downtown’s canal isn’t permitted outside of sanctioned events like this one.

The IMAX Theater at Indiana State Museum is embracing our theory that downtown is one giant playground.

The film starts with a good 10 minutes showing dust swirling prismatically in space. It’s pure and beautiful.

Don’t let the intimate setup or Champaign’s college-town quaintness fool: This is no small-potatoes affair. The event consistently screens top-notch movies and draws name talent.

Ask filmmakers what movies they want to see. Go watch those.

In the age of Netflix, Hulu, and HBONow, where a movie night usually means sitting on your couch with a remote in hand, film-going is a becoming a lost art. But thanks to a growing number of film festivals and a dedicated group of local cinephiles, Indianapolis has been finding its joys all over again.
