The Frida Cinema

The Frida Cinema is a program of the Long Beach Cinematheque, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization. The Frida Cinema will serve Santa Ana and neighboring communities as an arthouse cinema, dedicated to enriching, connecting, and educating communities through the art of cinema.

A community-based, mission-driven cinema which exists for the love of cinema, and the cultural enrichment of a local community. Whereas an arthouse cinema’s focus is on the screening of foreign, independent, documentary, LGBT, student, experimental, and other often-unrepresented genres of cinema, such venues also serve the community as centers for education, community engagement, multimedia events, spoken word presentations, and other non-cinematic engagements of community and art.
