In The Heat of the Night (1967)
Capitol Theatre
Capitolfest is Central New York’s 35mm classic film festival, screening rarely-seen silent and early talking movies from around the turn-of-the-20th Century into the late 1930s. Most of the movies are shown via 35mm films from archives such as the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, the George Eastman Museum, and UCLA Film & Television Archive, as well as prints from studios such as Universal, Warner Brothers, Sony, and Disney. 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Capitolfest, as well as the 20th festival (there was no show in 2021 due to Covid).
On the morning of Tuesday, January 24, at the Cinema Capitol 95th Oscar Nominations announcements watch party, early morning risers made their predictions on who would be nominated. The person who would pick more correct names than the house expert AJ Parker would win a pass to all 2023 Oscar movies at Cinema Capitol. We have a winner. In true Oscar tradition, to find out who won, you’ll have to watch!


Monday February 20 – 25
Cartoon Madness
Capitol Theatre
Cartoon Madness returns to the Capitol February 20-25 (3 pm daily, 3 & 7 pm shows on Saturday, February 25) with “A Smattering of Sylvester.” The constantly foiled cartoon cat will be seen in a half-dozen of his best short films (plus an earlier movie featuring a Sylvester prototype), sharing the bill with other cartoons starring the likes of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and other familiar Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for kids 12 and under.
