Hollywood Art and Culture Center will be new owner of Hollywood’s Cinema Paradiso movie theater
Cinema Paradiso, a 72-seat art house movie theater in downtown Hollywood, will soon be owned and managed by the Hollywood Art and Culture Center.
“Adding Cinema Paradiso is a bridge to expand our reach and presence in South Florida as a 50-year-old cultural institution that showcases all visual and performing arts,” said Jennifer Homan, executive director of the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, in a statement released Monday.
Cinema Paradiso will be The Center’s “dedicated theater for screenings of first run, arthouse and independent films,” said Homan. The Center takes over in June.
“As an organization celebrating our golden anniversary and looking to the future, we will continue to evolve and reimagine all that we do,’’ said Tim Curtin, chair of the Hollywood Art and Culture Center’s board of directors. “It is part of our own cultural renaissance which will be a wonderful gift to the community with the ability to deliver diverse programming, classes and workshops.”
