Roxy Theater

PFS ROXY THEATER

In 2013, the Philadelphia Film Society took over operation of the historic Roxy Theater in Rittenhouse. PFS operates the Roxy as a first-run theater screening a mix of independent, mainstream, and international cinema. The Roxy is also the home of PFS’ year-round programming, focused on extending the festival experience beyond October with the best in contemporary film from around the world and retrospective favorites from all eras.

The Roxy has undergone major renovations since PFS took over stewardship of the theater. In addition to structural improvements, we’ve installed new seats, new floors, new washrooms, brand new digital projection and sound systems in both auditoriums, new screens, and a 35mm reel-to-reel projection system. We are very proud to have also made the Roxy ADA accessible. The lobby and concession stand are still undergoing construction.


HOW TO SUPPORT

Your contribution and patronage is critical in helping us realize our vision for the Roxy as premiere movie theater in Center City as well as the hub for the Philadelphia Film Community. We invite you to play a role in the new vision for this historic theater! Make a tax-deductible gift or join PFS Today!
