SUPPORT TULSA'S FILM COMMUNITY

Originally opened in 1928 as a silent movie theater, Circle Cinema now operates as the only nonprofit cinema in the area. Our mission is to use film to foster understanding and appreciation of the diversity of the human experience, creating a sense of community among our viewers.

The Circle Cinema Foundation operates the historic Circle Cinema theater as a nonprofit under the mission to raise community consciousness through film and celebrate filmmakers from around the corner and around the world. In step with their volunteer board, Circle Cinema strives to educate, enlighten, and entertain with film and related programs and visual art installations that expose the greater our community to global issues, environments, and cultures. 

Moviegoers can discover a variety of film genres at Circle Cinema, including: 

  • Independent, foreign, and documentary films

  • Classic films and crossover favorites

  • Live theater and performance broadcasts

  • Silent films with live musical accompaniment from Circle Cinema's restored 1928 Robert Morton theatre pipe organ

  • Works produced in Oklahoma and/or by Oklahoma filmmakers

  • Mid-production screenings from emerging filmmakers

​

As a 501c3, every dollar earned - from ticket sales and concessions to membership and private donation or sponsorship - supports the Circle Cinema Foundation mission.
