The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, founded in 1986, presents movies in CIA’s 616-seat, 35mm and SR stereo-equipped Russell B. Aitken Auditorium. Videotapes and 16mm films are sometimes shown in CIA’s 100-seat Ohio Bell Auditorium.
Both auditoriums are located within the Institute’s Gund Building at the corner of East Boulevard and Bellflower Road in University Circle. Free, lighted parking is available in the adjacent CIA lot, located on the north and east sides of the building off of East Boulevard (see map below). Entrance to the building is through the rear door, just off the parking lot and only steps from your car. Smoking is not permitted in the Institute. Our facilities are fully accessible to the physically challenged.
