History

In 1976, four partners opened the first movie theater on the site, the Collective Fantasy Cinema.
In 1983, Brent Kliewer acquired the theater, renovated it, and rechristened it the Jean Cocteau Cinema, a tribute to the famed French poet, novelist and filmmaker. As the National Observer once noted, "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".
The theatre closed in 2006 before being purchased and renovated by Martin in 2013.
