Belcourt Theatre

Belcourt Theatre is an art cinema and music venue in Hillsboro Village with three screening rooms. Throughout the year, it presents independent films, documentaries, and restored classics to its audiences.

The theater was built in 1925 as the Hillsboro Theatre and initially showed silent films. From 1934 to 1936, it served as a venue for the Grand Ole Opry.

The venue hosts educational film programs that engage students from across Middle Tennessee with cinema studies and artistic projects. Visitors encounter workshops and special screenings designed to connect learning with creative expression.

The venue offers refreshments including local craft beers, wines on tap, and regional snacks like tamales and empanadas at the concession area. Plan to arrive early to explore the space and browse food options before your screening starts.

A large painting by artist Harry Underwood titled 'Landmark Preservation' adorns the theater walls and explores urban development impacts on historic buildings. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of why preserving such spaces matters.
