Brett Bossard, Cinemapolis executive director, said screening virtual films is allowing the theater to continue engaging Ithacans and sharing films throughout the pandemic. As a nonprofit, Cinemapolis doesn’t depend on big blockbuster releases to stay afloat. Cinemapolis’ nonprofit status made it more resilient when the pandemic shuttered theaters. By the end of February, the movie theater hopes to offer private movie parties for groups of 10 to 15 people. They are also offering a virtual screening of The Pieces I Am, the Toni Morrison Documentary, at no cost from Feb. 15 to Feb. 20.
