HELP US Preserve and Transform the former Metro Theater into a
state-of-the-art, five-screen independent film and education center!
Having successfully secured the Metro Theater property—a triumph made possible by the extraordinary generosity of neighbors, film enthusiasts, and civic leaders— we are now embarked on a $20 million capital campaign.
The funds we raise now, the partnerships we build today, and the community we gather around this vision will determine how the UWS Cinema Center becomes the vibrant cultural center we all envision.
We invite you to be part of this narrative at its most crucial chapter. Your contribution directly impacts our ability to move from property ownership to grand opening. Together, we can transform the Upper West Side Cinema Center from vision to reality, creating a cultural beacon that will illuminate our neighborhood for generations to come.
