So excited that Mariemont Theater is becoming an independently owned theater run by our friends at Cindependent! We look forward to a continued partnership with Cindependent. "This iconic landmark could not be in better hands. Cindependent is committed to ensuring that film continues to thrive and is accessible to all." Susan Brownknight, LADD CEO and Mariemont Village Council Member. www.mariemonttheatre.org

According to the announcement, Cindependent plans to preserve the historic theater while also setting it up as the first independent, nonprofit movie theater in the Cincinnati area.

Cindependent said under its operation, the Mariemont Theatre will host independent, international and locally-produced films, alongside mainstream and family-friendly movies.

The nonprofit said it also plans to retain the theater's current employees.

As we head into the final days of the year, we’re reflecting on the moments, conversations, and people that continue to shape the OTR Film Festival.🎥

Over the years, the festival has been shaped by the artists, performers, and storytellers who have joined us, each bringing new perspectives, meaningful conversations, and moments that linger long after the lights come up. It’s these shared experiences that continue to define what this festival is. ⭐️

Here’s to the people who make the magic happen year after year. ✨

If you ever talked movies with tt, you know his love for film was contagious. He showed us that great films come in many forms. And that there’s always a movie for every occasion, each with its own purpose. We are forever grateful for the joy, insight, and inspiration you shared with all of us.

We miss you tt💛

We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic lately… so we’re rewinding the clock and reliving some of the legendary moments that have made the Over-the-Rhine International Film Festival what it is today! And we’re starting with… the parties 🎉

The laughter, the music, the dancing, the energy — the joy of simply being together; these moments remind us that the film festival is about so much more than just watching a great movie. It’s about community, it’s about celebrating the stories our community has to share, and it’s about coming TOGETHER.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made so far, and to the magic we strive to create year after year.
