Vaccinated-Only Movie Showings Coming To Bryn Mawr Film Institute

BRYN MAWR, PA — In an effort to provide safe move going experiences, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute is launching screenings for vaccinated patrons only.

VacCinema days will begin Sunday, Sept. 12 at the film institute.

These days will be reserved for fully vaccinated guests only and will take place twice a week on Sundays and Mondays.

Proof of vaccination will be required to attend screenings and educational opportunities at the institute. Photo IDs will also be required.

Patrons without proof of vaccination will not be admitted and will be given a refund if tickets have already been purchased. A negative COVID-19 test will not be accepted in lieu of proof of vaccination.

All staff in the building on VacCinema days will be fully vaccinated.

Film screenings and educational opportunities on Tuesdays through Saturdays will not require proof of vaccination at this time.

"Bryn Mawr Film Institute is the first movie theater in the Greater Philadelphia region to offer a moviegoing experience for fully vaccinated patrons only," a news release said. "By hosting a fully vaccinated theater two days per week, BMFI hopes that VacCinema will give an extra layer of comfort to our vulnerable neighbors, so they, too, can return to the theater and experience the magic of cinema again."

The theater's health and safety measures remain in place seven days a week, including VacCinema days.
