Our diverse selection includes independent movies, classic American cinema, and foreign language films, aiming to expose audiences to a wide array of world cultures. Our staff and volunteers curate these films, considering patron input, to entertain, educate, inspire, provoke, and transform our audience.Operating year-round, seven days a week, Cinestudio ensures the public stays informed about our schedule through email, our website, social media, and lobby flyers. One of our key commitments is to showcase films in the best available technological format. Unlike many commercial theaters, we possess the necessary equipment to screen older 35mm and 70mm films in their original formats. In 2011, we invested in a state-of-the-art digital projection system, ensuring our ability to present cinema in new formats for generations to come.Cinestudio hosts several film festivals each year and welcomes suggestions for programming from external organizations. These events encompass a wide range of themes, including French, Italian and LGBT film festivals, as well as series focusing on international cinema. Our annual Trinity Film Festival showcases short films by students from across the globe, often in collaboration with other nonprofit organizations. In addition to film screenings, Cinestudio has expanded its programming to include live broadcasts of theater, fine art exhibitions and most recently the Met Opera Live in HD, enriching Hartford's cultural landscape. Committed to educational and community outreach, we frequently present films requested by local high school teachers and are developing educational programs and discussion groups led by filmmakers and scholars. Cinestudio remains steadfast in its mission to enrich the arts landscape of Connecticut and provide diverse audiences with enriching cinematic experiences.Expenses $174,013. 8901 Refurbishment of lobby lighting. $8,901 -8901 Less refurbishment of lobby lighting, which is capitalized.$8,901 170144 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false X Lew Michaels Exec Dir 8602972544 300 Summit St Hartford CT 061063173 Lew Michaels Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 76443 0 0 Peter McMorris Creative Dir. 10.00 0.00 X 27214 0 0 John Michael Mason Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Milla Riggio Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Angela Wolf to 042023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Hanley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Arakas Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Reed Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Torres Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Dickinson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Ferney to 042023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Kriesen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vivian Nabeta Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Brown Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joshua King Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sourav Guha from 092023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 103657 0 false false false 0 18449 99841 118290 Facility Usage Charge 9145 9145 Theater Admissions 73456 73456 82601 375 375 0 0 0 0 0 0 3325 3869 -544 -544 0 200722 82601 -544 375 0 0 0 0 113243 89202 21166 2875 0 1588 1588 2969 2969 0 9565 8417 1014 134 0 0 8980 8980 0 1275 1275 0 6766 6766 6875 5698 1177 3987 251 3736 2086 300 1786 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22581 13549 6774 2258 3083 1192 1891 Film rental and licensing fees 28364 28364 Printing and Publications 5800 629 93 5078 Payroll service fees 4940 4940 Meals 4685 4331 354 17618 9857 7512 249 244405 170144 62392 11869 74275 24458 93259 104458 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 520375 224602 309453 295773 1257 21669 0 0 0 211024 199111 689268 645469 5000 4748 5000 4748 X 684268 640721 684268 640721 689268 645469 -43683 136 X X false false false X 248879 157869 150415 227622 117040 901825 142652 94946 20287 54275 87007 399167 0 0 0 391531 252815 170702 281897 204047 1300992 6403 6605 3094 8575 4571 29248 194465 72938 72269 170060 67555 577287 200868 79543 75363 178635 72126 606535 694457 40 59 27 10 375 511 0 40 59 27 10 375 511 0 52290 7680 20500 80470 443861 260554 170729 302407 204422 1381973 0.50250 0.47470 0.00040 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 90196 25552 64644 142366 134797 7569 287813 64253 223560 295773 Exchange - Trinity College 161618 Lobby lighting project costs 37500 Rounding -7 199111 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The organization's independent CPA prepares the Form 990 from accounting information provided by the bookkeeping service and the Executive Director.
