The Bryn Mawr Film Institute isn't your typical movie theater. For one thing, it's a non-profit business, meaning it exists solely to spread a love for fine films, not to rake in dollars. It also doesn't show your average blockbusters. The Bryn Mawr Film Institute sticks to indie flicks, foreign films, and other types of cinematic art.
In addition to screening movies, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute also offers classes via an in-house education department, which hosts seminars, month-long courses, and one-off sessions regarding films. Special guest speakers often take to the stage at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute as well, discussing the art of filmmaking and everything that goes on behind the camera. You might even get to catch a screening of a local documentary at the Film Institute if you keep a close eye on its calendar of upcoming events.
