Flashback to the fall of 1969 ... Cinestudio was merely an auditorium in the 1935 Clement Chemistry Building at Trinity College.

The facility had bland walls, hard, wooden seats, no carpet, poor acoustics, and aprojection booth to which no one even had a key. But a group of students in the film society saw the possibilities.

With a loan from the group’s faculty adviser, Lawrence Stires, the students upgraded the equipment, and on February 16, 1970,Cinestudio officially opened to the public with a groundbreaking double feature of Alice’s Restaurant and Yellow Submarine.

Three years later, the founding students obtained a bank loan to buy new projectors, new seats, regal red carpeting embroidered with the Cinestudio lion insignia, and the magnificent gold Austrian screen curtain that continues to rise at every show. With the help of a professional or two, the crew of students carried out all of the renovations themselves.
