CINEMA AND VIDEO PROJECTION

In December 2013, the Strand installed a brand new state of the art high definition digital cinema projection system that conforms to -- and in fact exceeds -- the standards mandated by the worldwide Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI). This system ensures that we are able to bring you, our audience, the best new release independent films and even more of the movies you have come to love at the Strand. In addition, we are one of the only theaters in Maine that also retains the capacity to show 35 mm films the traditional way, and we intend to continue keeping film alive alongside our new technology.
