Real Art Ways has been showing the best of indie and international cinema since 1996. We’re proud to say that we’re often the only venue in Connecticut – or even New England – where you can catch the films that never make it to the multiplexes. New films typically open on Friday with daily screenings through the following Thursday. The end dates shown in the schedule below are not always final. We may hold over a popular film for additional weeks. Other times, a film may be held over for screenings on Saturdays and Sundays, so check our website frequently for the latest.
