My wife and I were seriously bummed when we first moved to Binghamton and learned that there wasn't a single art theater. No more mainstream art-house movies for us. Just our netflix and a 12"" tv.\r

I'm proud and excited to announce that Binghamton now has its own art theater. It opened last summer and has been running current art-house films. \r

The venue itself is standard size for an indie theater. They have two theaters - one can sit 40 people. The other can sit 50. The screens are smaller than the megaplex variety, but still way bigger than anything you have at home. Its definitely an intimate setting. There is also an art gallery with monthly exhibitions that serves as the ticketing and concessions area. Some might consider the Art Mission space as an art gallery that shows movies, but I like to think of it as a cinema with an art gallery attached.\r

In anycase, its nice to have an independent theater in town. I look forward to seeing many a future film there.
Pros: Great films, intimate setting, supports local arts
Cons: first row seats may give neck cramp. all other seats are great.
