The Cinema Arts Centre is truly a place where
generations
meet. Many of our members have been with us since the "sheet-on-the-wall" days, before we had our home here at 423 Park Avenue, and before we even had our own screens and projectors! Many of our members are
Young Film Fans
, enjoying our community space and variety of programs, including late-night programs like
Cult Cafe
and
Retro Picture Show
. And our community includes everyone in between.
Not only does the Cinema Arts Centre provide a welcoming venue for all generations to experience our programs and events, but we also are an important local employer, helping to keep young people - and young talent - right here on Long Island. Many of our younger employees are filmmakers, actors, musicians, writers, and artists, who are able to work in a creative environment, without moving away, while they pursue their many gifts. We engage young talent not only with entry level positions and internships, but we have put young people in leadership roles, setting them on a career path and helping to make sure that they can remain a vital part of our Long Island community.
“I’m so honored to be recognized by the Huntington Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals for my work at the Cinema Arts Centre. I’m proud of what I have accomplished as Director of Operations and look forward to continuing to work with our great team. Also, as a native Long Islander and a member of the Suffolk County Legislature Next Generation Advisory Council, I am very aware of the issues of employment and affordability on Long Island, especially as it relates to young people who are just at the beginning of their professional lives. It is very gratifying to have a leadership role with the Cinema Arts Centre, an organization that makes such a meaningful cultural impact, and such a meaningful economic impact on Long Island,” Rebecca Zunno shared.
