Major Announcement

A new world is at hand. But we need your help. Become a BEACON MEMBER now!

We're calling on you! Break out of the perpetual undeath of the streaming prison and grasp the movie life with your living hands. Unchained from the walls of the cave, bathe in the enlightened glow of reality's true sun, the Beacon projector bulb. From here, eternity emanates as time itself becomes yours to master. All the movies are yours.

But listen, times are getting tough in the ol' Emerald City. Any arts space that offers something more substantial than overpriced commodities is fighting to hold its ground against an expanding corporate hellscape. And we have to face it; we can't keep running the best cinema in the world without your support.

We are humbled by the outpouring of love we have received since opening five years ago and we want to keep coming up with new ways to sustain the enthusiasm that we have built together. We have vibrant aspirations of more ambitious film programs, special guests, live performances, collective publications, community projects, and physical improvements but we can't realize them without your support. We have such a close-knit community here at Beacon already that it wasn't difficult to come up with a suitable solution. So we have started a cult.

We've found the point where the sky and the Earth touch and we are inviting you to join us there. We are now conferring entry to acolytes who will join us in the revelation of a newly divined membership program: THE MYSTIC ORDER OF THE BEACON. A freemasonry of cinephiles, this is your ticket to somewhere better; a rare opening in the firmament; a chance to step through a doorway into a different reality. This is the esoteric, mystical and universal world of the cinema. Only you can help it bloom.
