Underground Cinema by WVIFF

The Underground Cinema is Charleston, West Virginia's nonprofit, independent movie theater - a place to see foreign, local, documentary, and indie films in an intimate setting. Located in the basement of Taylor Books' Annex Gallery, visitors can enter through Taylor Books or through our alley entrance in the alley between Capitol Street and Hale Street. The Underground Cinema shows one movie each month, screening every Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30pm.

Over 30 years of showcasing films in West Virginia, the WVIFF recognized the need for a singular space to screen movies year-round. The Underground Cinema is the culmination of that vision and will combine with the Spring and Fall installments of the WV International Film Festival to provide audiences with an even broader offering of films in a cozy, hip setting.
