A new independent art-house cinema in Detroit's oldest neighborhood. Tickets: $7 Bike, Walk, Student, Senior: $6 Weekday Special: $5
The Corktown Cinema is the reincarnation of the Burton Theatre: an exciting independent cinema in Detroit that will feature classic art house, independent, LGBT, foreign and cult films. Responding to the shortage of art house venues in the city, the Corktown Cinema aims to help Detroit rival Chicago and New York as a center for independent film.
While the Corktown Cinema will focus on film, it will not be limited to that. Its vision is to expand as a venue for music and other performance art with a focus on local artists. It will also work to engage its audience more deeply than typical theaters by making them active in programming and by creating a space where artists and patrons of the arts connect.
