Coolidge Corner Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, US
Coolidge Corner Theatre is a movie house with four screens showing international films, documentaries, and independent productions in a renovated 1933 building. The space features updated facilities designed for comfortable viewing and accessibility.
The building originally served as a church before being transformed into a movie palace in 1933. The community saved it from demolition in the late 1980s and established it as a nonprofit cultural organization.
The theater presents an annual award honoring filmmakers who have shaped cinema, connecting the venue to important figures in film history. This recognition reflects the house's commitment to celebrating artistic achievement in motion pictures.
The theater features elevators and accessible facilities for all visitors to move around easily. A recent expansion added new screens and improved overall amenities for moviegoers.
In 1989, residents formed a human chain around the building to protect it from redevelopment and secure its future as a cultural venue. This grassroots action proved crucial to saving the house.
