Midtown Cinema opened at the site of a former grocery store on Nov. 30, 2001. Founded by Allen Brown and Todd Shill, the three-screen cinema is dedicated to exhibiting independent, foreign, and nostalgic films in the heart of midtown Harrisburg. In the first weeks of operation, the art house cinema played a collection of films that went on to be award winners and nominees. Midtown Cinema embraces a gamut of film genres, along with guest appearances, sing-alongs, outdoor films, movie marathons, community events, film festivals, story slams, improv shows, and red carpet evenings.
