Our Mission
The Circle Cinema Mission
Our mission is to use film to foster understanding and appreciation of the diversity of the human experience and create community among the viewers in the restored historic Circle Cinema.
As a part of meeting that mission, we seek to provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where community members with diverse views and experiences can come together to enjoy films, events, and other programming.
​
Circle Cinema values a safe experience for everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sex or sexual orientation, age, religion, or disability. Your guest experience is our priority. If you see anyone engaging in harassment or unsafe behavior, please contact a member of our team.
