Mission

4EYE Film Center is a nonprofit organization that supports arthouse cinema for community engagement and connection through film and arts presentation, education and inspiration.

Connect. Inspire. Educate.

Vision

We have created 4EYE to be an indispensable center for film, conversation, shared experience, and education. It will be a gathering place for all generations to watch and discuss movies, connect across differences, broaden perspectives, and celebrate creativity.

Our Story

4EYE Film Center is a brand new organization currently developing its first movie theater opening October, 2026 as part of a larger theater arts hub at 340 Maple Drive, SW, near the corner of 4th and I Streets, SW – hence the name 4EYE.  Like the hundreds of nonprofit arthouse theaters thriving around the country, 4EYE will be a cultural and social center that fosters community engagement while providing inspiration, education, and entertainment through the shared discovery of film.
