Concessions

Concessions at the Film Center

A visit to your favorite independent cinema would not be complete with a snack or beverage to pair with your screening. Whether you wish to enjoy a freshly-cracked beer, a pour of wine, or the classic trio of popcorn, soda, and candy - our concessions stand has a variety of options waiting for you!

Concessions open 30 minutes prior to the first screening of the day and closes 30 minutes after the last screening begins. Cash, card, and contactless payments are accepted. We do not accept $50 or $100 bills.

Outside food or drinks are not allowed at the Film Center. Outside alcohol is prohibited on our premises and will result in immediate expulsion from the Film Center. We reserve the right to check bags and totes brought to screenings for prohibited items.
