Very cool! Though has not it already been renovated? We went to the cat video fest a couple of weeks ago and the interior of the lobby has all been redone and at least one of the theatres has new chairs.

@walkerp The renos have been completed. DV’s donation was to help CdP’s continuing mission to provide great cinema to the community.

Glad to hear the seating has been upgraded and the cinema’s future appears assured, especially post Excentris. Though they weren’t torturous, I never felt particularly comfortable in the old seats. Actually, I often wondered whether that had less to do with the seats themselves and more to do with their attachment to the inclined floor.

Last I was there, some weeks ago, only 1 of 3 theatres has new seating.
