Friday Night at the Forum    Fall 2008

Welcome to the Tri-State Cinema Society website.  We are a non-profit organization promoting an appreciation for film and are located in the Evansville, Indiana / Henderson, Kentucky area.  Friends of the Tri-State Cinema Society include the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library, University of Southern Indiana, Henderson Community College and the University of Evansville.

Tri-State Cinema Society was born in the Spring of 1995.  The board approached Jack Scott at Old Orchard Cinemas to see if he would allow us to use his theatre to bring foreign and other interesting films to the area.  He generously agreed to let us use a screen for free Sunday through Thursday on selected weeks during the fall and spring.  Three board members put up the seed money to rent and promote the movies for our first series.  We showed three films and like ballplayers to Ray Kinsella's field of dreams, you came.  We have offered a series of foreign and independent films every fall and spring since. 

We are a non-profit organizationIf you are interested in making a tax free donation to help keep funding these programs, please contact us at the e-mail address below. 

NOTE:  The Tri-State Cinema Society does NOT fund any of the series we link to.  We are just helping to advertise them and provide some discussion leadership.
