Digital Gym Cinema is a theater and lounge in San Diego, California, that screens international and independent films. It was founded by Media Arts Center San Diego.
History
[edit]Digital Gym Cinema opened in April, 2013 after Media Arts Center San Diego relocated from a converted residence in Golden Hill to El Cajon Boulevard. Its purpose and focus was to screen mostly unknown films that were not already available to public audiences. Ethan van Thillo and Phil Lorenzo managed the location.[1]
The original address was at 2921 El Cajon Blvd in North Park[2] before it moved to 1100 Market Street at UC San Diego's Park and Market building in downtown San Diego.[3][4] The new location had a soft opening in October, 2021[5] and hosted screenings from the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2022.[6] It reopened in April, 2022.[3]
