NONPROFIT COMMUN
The mission of the not-for-profit organization, Moving Picture Partners (MPP) is:
Since the closing of the Academy Theater in the 1980s, New Paltz has been without an art cinema. The Academy was an entertainment anchor in the downtown area providing cultural and social vitality to the community and attracting patrons to local shops, restaurants, and bars. The not-for-profit cinema is envisioned to play a similar role and become one of the towns main destinations for evening entertainment and a center for social discourse. The cinema will primarily screen the best of independent, documentary, and world cinema, mixed with classic films. The cinema will provide state-of-the-art digital projection and sound, and provide all patrons with an excellent viewing experience.
to inspire, inform and entertain through the universal language of cinema arts and to serve as a cultural and educational resource for all. MPP is dedicated to the exploration of cinema as an art form, a source of entertainment and an educational tool. MPP will provide venues for the screening of films not generally available in the county. It will promote and develop an understanding of and an appreciation for the art of film through the screening of films and the presentation of lectures, symposiums, public discussion and other activities which educate the general public in subjects such as film history, film critique and film making. MPP will promote and develop the appreciation of film in general by preserving the role of film as an enriching social, cultural and educational experience integral to the social fabric of local communities, to family life and to lifelong personal development. MPP is organized and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

The design for the cinema building will blend into the surrounding structures with forms that are similar to the existing adjacent barns and consistent with the architecture in the immediate area. The existing house at 12 Main Street will be incorporated into the design while preserving its current character and role in the streetscape. The project will demonstrate a commitment to sustainable design. Our goal is to create the greenest cinema in New York State.
