The 941 Theater is an independent theater space; the main use is for movie screenings augmented by occasional live theater and music performances. There are not many places in Philadelphia like this and we are certainly the only Movie Theater serving the Northern Liberties, Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond areas.
The bulk of our programming will be first run independent feature films. In addition we will have the ability to host community based events, screenings from local university students and filmmakers and other events that would bring culture to Northern Liberties.
The 941 Theater will provide access for the people of Northern Liberties and all of Philadelphia to a broader variety of films by programming films that are not available here because there is no venue for them. Thousands of independent films are released to American and International theaters every year, but unfortunately only a small percentage of those films are screened in Philly.
ABOUT THE 941 THEATER FOUNDERS:
For the last seven years the 941 Theater partners have been producing the Backseat Film Festival with semi-annual events in Philadelphia (Roxy Theater, Triangle Theater), New York (Pioneer Theater) and Baltimore (Creative Alliance Performance Space), as well as special events at the Alamo Draft House in Austin, TX and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland OH. Additionally, Backseat Conceptions has been doing business in Philadelphia as a production company for five years and have a good reputation with local film fans as well as vendors who would benefit from a new independent theater in Northern Liberties.
