About Us:

The Avon Theatre features the best of independent, world and documentary films, foreign and Hollywood classics and educational programming that enhances the cultural richness of the downtown Stamford community.

Our Mission:

The Avon Theatre Film Center is a non-profit, member-supported cultural hub, dedicated to presenting film in its highest forms: as art, as history, as education, and as a window on the world, as well as in its most compelling formats: Independent, Foreign, Documentary and Classic. 

At the same time, the Avon, itself a 1939 historic landmark, provides a forum for in-person, community dialogue with directors, actors and other luminaries in a vibrant “Main Street America” setting.
