The Friends of the Cinema (FOTC) is a group of concerned volunteers who support the Cinema Theater because we feel it is a vital entity not only in the South East corridor, but in the city of Rochester itself. It is the last of the neighborhood theaters that once counted among 43 in our fair city and, as such, is an integral link to our past and hopefully, with a sustained community partnership, will remain a cornerstone in our future benefiting not only its patrons, but all local businesses in our walkable community.
