Circle Cinema

Circle Cinema is a Tulsa-based nonprofit arthouse theater that has been operating since 2003. The cinema, which originally opened in 1928, aims to educate, enlighten, and entertain its guests by showcasing independent, foreign, and documentary films, as well as familiar classics and crossover favorites. In addition to screening films, Circle Cinema hosts live theater and performance broadcasts, silent films with musical accompaniment, and specialty and educational programs.

What sets Circle Cinema apart is its commitment to community engagement. The cinema arranges exciting guest speakers, audience discussions, educational displays, and other extraordinary events to elevate the film experience and to connect the community to global issues, environments, and cultures.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, Circle Cinema reinvests proceeds from every ticket, popcorn, and soda back into its mission to expand community consciousness through film. This business model not only differentiates the cinema but also positions it as a socially impactful venture.

While the specific details of the cinema's previous investments and investors are not currently available, its focus on social impact and community engagement could make it an attractive investment opportunity for venture capitalists with an interest in the entertainment industry.
