Love movies? You’ve come to the right place
Hopkins Community Cinema is a citizen-led, volunteer-driven group that hosts intentionally-curated movie screenings in Hopkins. You’re welcome to join us as we build the movement.
2026-27 Season Announced
The balance of HCC's 5th season was announced at a kick-off event with the Hopkins Library October 6. Following a special screening of the Emmy-winning documentary, The Librarians, four more films were named to round out the season.
These movies reflect a theme inspired by the 30th Anniversary of our partner,
the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Built Together: the Power of Community
Unless otherwise, noted, movies are screened at:
Hopkins Center for the Arts
Jaycees Theater
1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins
Hopkins Community Cinema is a volunteer group of movie lovers responding to the void left by the departure of the popular Hopkins movie theater in 2022. Starting with only a few folks watching a film in someone's garage to hosting up to 50 at the art center’s Jaycees Theater, HCC strives to keep the dream of movies alive.
Thanks to partnerships with Hopkins Center for the Arts and the City of Hopkins, this citizen-led group screens films that inspire, inform, entertain, and bring the community together.

The movement to bring movies back to Hopkins relies on volunteers, in all capacities. We need people to donate:
Your generosity makes it all possible
While we are not a non-profit and cannot offer a tax deduction, Hopkins Community Cinema is dependent on funding and donations — many of which come from our loyal members. A small contribution goes a long way and gives us the chance to keep movies in Hopkins. Donate now, and make a difference in the community.
