FilmScene on The Ped Mall — Local services in Iowa City

We wanted to see a documentary that just came out and no other theatres in the area were showing it, except one little obscure place was showing the movie. This was definitely a different viewing experience. We were led to a room with conference seats and no incline, but it was a very nice experience. Before the movie, an announcer walked out and told about their theatre. They support the gay community (and straight too obviously) and they accept donations and offer memberships. The main thing I noticed was the difference in the audience - they were polite and quite. Nobody checked their phone or talked during the show. There was laughter at the appropriate times, so there was still the experience of watching a movie with a group. The only negative thing is that the seats are very small and too close together, so if you are a very large person, this theatre may not be for you.

I will certainly go back. Finally, a theatre that shows...

This arthouse movie theater is a great place to see independent and classic films. This theater is operated as a nonprofit and as such participants in many community events and partnerships.

It's easy to park less than a block away at either the parking ramp attached to Old Capitol Town Center or the Dubuque Street Garge, plus the first hour of parking is free in either ramp and just $1 per hour after. Metered street parking is also free after 6 in...

Came here to watch ‘The Boy and the Heron’ with my family and we all had a great time.

The concessions are reasonably priced for a theatre and the auditoriums are cozy and give lots of leg space. As far as seating goes, they other both regular chairs and lounge seating; both of which are comfy.

Before your movie starts one of the staff will come in and give the audience a little rundown about the movie and offer bits of trivia which i thought was pretty unique.

I’ll definitely be...
