The Screening Room Cinema & Arts Cafe

The Screening Room at Elmwood Commons, 3200 Elmwood Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda, is a locally owned 100-seat boutique cinema and arts café inside a renovated historic school building in the Ken-Ton area just north of Buffalo. Its calendar pairs big-screen classic film screenings with movie trivia nights, weekend mimosa matinees, cult films with a live shadowcast, a monthly poetry series, live music jams, and improv comedy, and it regularly hosts local filmmakers and film festivals. Events run on a posted schedule rather than set daily hours, mostly evenings with weekend matinees, with tickets available online or at the door, and the space can be booked for private screenings, meetings, fundraisers, and parties.
