Casket Cinema is proud it's new season of events for the 2026-27 season. From experimental cinema to cult classics, live guests to local premieres, Minneapolis’ longest-running microcinema brings another season of eclectic screenings.
In the coming season we will be offering some of our time-honored events and some new shows from local artists.
Almost all of the film screenings take place in the old Northwestern Casket Building in Mark Wojahn's art studio. (The movie listings note movies that are shown at other locations)

“Casket Cinema has always been about community — a place to discover films you can’t see anywhere else, share the experience with others, and meet the people behind the work,” said [Organizer/Programmer’s Name], co-founder of Casket Cinema. “This season, we’re especially excited to feature both international filmmakers and local voices.”
Screenings are held in an intimate loft theater with limited seating — advance reservations are strongly recommended.
About Casket Cinema
Casket Cinema is Mark Wojahn's underground micro-cinema co-founded in 2008 with Wilbur Ince. It is dedicated to showing the best in independent documentaries. The intention of the screenings is to use movies to bring people together, and provide an outlet for community building.
Here's a link to the upcoming schedule of movies - Casket Cinema Schedule
Screening Times
Films usually show on the first Thursday of every month and begin at 8pm. We start at 7:30pm with a quick meet and greet and social hour, and after introductions, we show the film. At the conclusion of the film we have a question and answer with a panel or special guests. So many times after watching a documentary a person wonders what is the next step? At Casket Cinema, that can be answered immediately during the Q&A.
Reaching Out to our Local Community
Films are often paired with local organizations that have a vested interest in the subject matter. We take donations, and split the proceeds with the 'bulb fund', and a local charity.
We look forward to seeing everyone very soon!
thanks,
