The Corktown Cinema is the reincarnation of the Burton Theatre: an exciting  independent cinema in Detroit that features classic art house, independent, LGBT, foreign and cult films. Responding to the shortage of art house venues in the city, the Corktown Cinema aims to help Detroit rival Chicago and New York as a center for independent film.While the Corktown Cinema will focus on film, it will not be limited to that. Its vision is to expand as a venue for music and other performance art with a focus on local artists. It will also work to engage its audience more deeply than typical theaters by making them active in programming and by creating a space where artists and patrons of the arts connect.

The theatre will be located at 2051 Rosa Parks, Detroit. Click here for a map.

The theatre is available for rental. Contact us for more information.
