Greetings from Cornell Cinema!

This Fall Cornell Cinema marks its 50th anniversary as one of the longest running campus film exhibition programs in the country. We would have been hosting several special events to celebrate the milestone, but instead, to meet the challenges of the current pandemic, we are introducing a virtual cinema program that will give patrons free access to a variety of screenings. The in-person celebrations will be postponed until next year.

 

The Advance Publicity release provides general information about how our virtual screenings will work and a chronological listing of all the films we currently have scheduled (some films may be added over the course of the semester). You can view an alphabetical listing of the films here:

 

The Events release describes the film series we are doing. You can also view a list of the series here:

Virtual Orientation & Open House Video - it's fun!

 

Curious to explore a fascinating subject outside your intended major?

Want to meet a fantastic and friendly professor?

Still looking for an extra credit or two without the pressure of grades?

Check out these Learning Where You Live courses. They are almost all 1-credit courses offered S/U (with exceptions noted). Former students have raved about these courses, noting their ability to really get to know a faculty member and other students in a low stress and interesting course. All are open to you regardless of where you live. Register for them during add/drop just as you would for any other course and email the faculty member with any questions.

During the event, you will be able to come and go from each table at any point (to join a new table, close out of your current table and then click the link for the table you wish to join).
