Bryn Mawr Film Institute

Bryn Mawr Film Institute (BMFI) is a nonprofit movie theater and film education center outside of Philadelphia in Bryn Mawr, PA. Nearly 120,000 patrons each year (6,000+ of whom are members) enjoy an eclectic mix of independent, international, documentary, alternative, classic, and new films on our four screens, 365 days a year. Through movie screenings, special events, guest speakers, film courses, and interactive programs, BMFI creates a film community. While fully equipped with 21st-century digital laser technology for new releases, BMFI takes every opportunity to project classic, rare, and archival prints on 35mm and 70mm film. Inside the fully restored, historic 1926 Seville Theatre, classic art house style meets state-of-the-art projection, sound, and seating, creating a boutique movie-going experience, the way films were meant to be seen.
