Did you know that the Boedecker Theater is Boulder’s ONLY year-round arthouse cinema?

The Boedecker Theater opened within the Dairy Arts Center in 2010 as a first-run arthouse cinema. With an intimate seating capacity of 70, “the Boe” is the perfect place to see films not available at the commercial cinemas in a professional theater setting. Concessions, including alcohol, are available for purchase at every screening; our popcorn is a staff favorite!

What types of films do we screen?

With nearly 650 screenings last year, the Dairy Arts Center’s cinema programming is noted for excellence as well as diversity. From contemplative documentaries to quirky independent comedies and international dramas (we’ve shown films from over 80 countries since 2015), there is something for everyone!

Our regularly scheduled films play Wednesday – Sunday and typically rotate between one narrative and one documentary feature throughout the week, with special programs generally taking place Sunday – Tuesday evenings, including cultural offerings like international ballet and opera screenings, Exhibition on Screen and National Theatre Live, or community partnerships and local showcases. Many films also feature “talkbacks*,” post film discussions led by film critics, community leaders, and professional experts so that you can get the most out of the cinema experience!

Community is what sets our theater apart. The Boedecker is home is to numerous series and festivals including Classics with Jeffrey Kash, Friday Night Weird, How to Watch a Movie, the Boulder Jewish Film Festival, Boulder Environmental/Nature/Outdoors Film Festival, and Mimesis Film Festival.

"Dairy is a great venue for foreign language movies that are not shown in other cinemas. The quality of movies is high. Also, getting tickets/seats is refreshingly easy. A name on a list...great!"

“The quality of the movies and documentaries is good. The Dairy feels like a warm, welcoming place for the arts. Every town or City ought to have a place like the Dairy to celebrate artistic creativity.”

“We expect to see first-rate films at the Boe that we wouldn't see at mainstream commercial theaters, films that make us think beyond merely entertaining us.”

"The Dairy Cinema is a much more enjoyable venue for seeing movies; the chairs are great, the wine is good, and the place is generally full of other friendly movie lovers."

"The most amazing experience was using T-Coil. I could hear every word so clearly directly in my hearing aids. Normally I have difficulty understanding speech in: films, plays, speakers, etc. I am grateful that the Dairy Arts Center has installed this capability for hearing impaired people"
