DULUTH’S VERY OWN NONPROFIT, INDEPENDENT MOVIE THEATER
Every day we’re showing the best in all types of cinema – from new releases to documentary films, to classic and cult favorites, and foreign films. Our programming is thoughtfully curated with our community in mind.
NOW SHOWING
SING SING
Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.
THE BRUTALIST
Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost…
NOTE: The Brutalist has a runtime of 3hr 35mins with a 15-minute intermission.
THE ROOM NEXT DOOR
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.

“Film is an important means of communication. It is an art form that can unite us, define eras, influence change, and bring us comfort. Since I started coming to the Zinema, I always looked forward to seeing films about new cultures, innovative filmmaking, and odd and refreshing ways of telling stories. As a programmer, I try to find things that are, above all, interesting. I try to show stories you haven’t seen, perspectives that take space in your head for days after viewing. Movies that welcome, movies that push the boundaries, and movies that we can actively cheer or dance at. Most of my favorite cinematic memories have taken place in this building and I want to create that same thing for you.”
