Omnitheater

In a world that often overlooks individuals with physical disabilities, the Omnitheater is dedicated to redefining the cinematic experience in a way that isn’t just limited to films on the screen. Rooted in its name, the “Omni”theater’s main objective is to make the entire movie-going experience designed for diverse ways of being human- starting from the entrance of the building all the way to its movie theater programming.

Inside the theater, you have all the main components of a typical movie theater like, ticketing, concessions, cafeteria, restrooms, theaters, administration, storage, etc. However there is also a film archive that features films on the topic of physical accessibility.
