Studio-C Cinema uses a professional Blu-Ray HD projector on a 16 ft. cinema screen with a 5.1 surround sound system in a renovated 125 year-old textile mill in old Cornelius.

Our screenings include complementary wine & cheese receptions before the films, where patrons mingle while browsing the Cornelius Art Center gallery.

Optional Q & A commentaries led by experts and filmmakers follow screenings.

Screenings are generally held the first and third weekends of every month, with additional dates added.
