FilmScene at The Chauncey — Local services in Iowa City

Wonderful little movie theater that mixes the charm of an art house with the amenities of a multiplex. The beautifully designed building with an undulating wooden interior encased in an open glass atrium is perfect for meeting and talking with people before or after a film.

The other day I saw The Batman in a Dreamlounger in CR's Marcus Theatre...what a let down by comparison (especially the subpar sound quality). If FilmScene is showing a movie you'd like to see, see it @FilmScene you'll...
