Belcourt Theatre

The Belcourt Theatre’s mission is to engage, enrich, and educate through innovative film programming. The Theatre is described as a unique Nashville treasure with a vibrant historic past and deep roots in the community. Today, the Belcourt is a non-profit cultural institution dedicated to presenting the best of independent, documentary, world, repertory and classic cinema. The Belcourt provides opportunities for people of all ages to discover, explore and learn through the power of film. Organizers work with community partners throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee to bring inspiring films to children and young people with their Mobile Movie Theatre.

Today, the Belcourt Theatre is recognized as one of Nashville’s most vibrant arts organizations and as a leader among the country’s art houses regionally and nationally. The Theater attracts audiences from throughout Middle Tennessee and the Southeast, along with visitors from more than 40 states and other countries — totaling approximately 160,000 visitors annually. More than 1,200 students in the surrounding community benefit from film programming and visual literacy activities.

As of June 2016, the Belcourt had been closed for 6 months for essential renovation, construction and preservation — the first major work on the 90-year-old building in 50 years. It is scheduled to reopen in the summer of 2016.
