Cincinnati World Cinema

Make visible what, without you,
might perhaps never have been seen.

CWC MISSION

Cincinnati World Cinema is an AVO (All-Volunteer Organization). Our mission is  to engage the community to explore the human condition and celebrate cultural diversity through cinema as an art form that informs, educates and entertains.

We present films that might otherwise not appear on a big screen in this market. This includes international, documentary, American independent, live-action and animated shorts and locally-produced works.

We believe in cinema as a collective experience on a large screen with a film community sharing a common bond extending from the onscreen experience to the discussions which flow afterward. To enhance the educational experience, our post-film discussions are led by local authorities, CWC staff, and/or filmmakers.

In the process of exploring the human condition, our films touch on a broad spectrum of cultural and societal issues. Films presented by CWC are offered in the public interest and do not signify organizational endorsement of any issue, cause or group.
