Local movie theater Central Cinema plans to reopen its screening room to audiences starting on April 1 as COVID-19 vaccines come out.
Central Cinema, 1205 N. Central St., first opened in 2018. It started as a result of the Knoxville Horror Film Festival and opened after a successful GoFundMe campaign. They show all kinds of movies, including independent, art house, foreign and popular films. They had to close during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The owners of Central Cinema, general manager Nick Huinker, programming director William Mahaffey and operations manager Logan Myers spoke about the theaterâs planned reopening.
