The Denver Center Cinema was a 250 seat theater constructed as part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The Cinema was opened on April 26, 1980 with Douglas Fairbanks Sr. in “The Black Pirate” & Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in “The Exile”. It operated through May 1988 when it was closed for financial reasons.

The projecting equipment was removed from the projection booth in the 1990’s, and is now in the Jewish Community Center. The auditorium is used now used for live performances. There was also a smaller theater that sat between 40-50 removable seats. The cinema was primarily used as a retrospective theater presenting film programs built around director, actors and themes.
