About

Seattle's smallest & weirdest movie theater. Non-profit & 100% volunteer-operated.

Story

The Grand Illusion Cinema is Seattle's only 100% volunteer non-profit cinema. We are dedicated to preserving the cinematic experience in all forms, especially the exhibition of 16mm & 35mm film whenever possible. Our location has operated as a movie theater uninterrupted since 1968, when Randy Findley converted a dentist’s office into a cinema and created the city’s first arthouse.

There is almost no better place to see a movie in Seattle. The sheer variety of films on their slate is awe inspiring. But a membership for added cool exclusive events throughout the year. You won't regret it.

Love this place! Small screen, but it's a very small theater. Cash or check only. Extremely well curated films.

Great theatre that shows lesser known movies and is all volunteer run.
