The mission of the Cinema Arts Centre is to bring the best in cinematic artistry to Long Island, and use the power of film to expand the awareness and consciousness of our community.
For more than 40 years, we have leveraged the power of film to help create social good, community dialogue, civic participation, and uncompromising artistic value. Like the power of film itself, which is greater than the sum of its parts, the power of the CAC is boundary-breaking. Programs lift the voices of under-represented groups, of vital community organizations, and other not-for-profit organizations, impacting a variety of causes and issues, and allowing us to share resources, create mutual benefits and work toward a better Long Island.
