The reviews are in, and the new Walker Cinema is a hit! "Cinephiles will rejoice," says the Twin Cities Daily Planet, while WCCO calls it "a new Twin Cities masterpiece."
Some fun facts: the digital projector shows twice as many pixels as the latest MacBook "retina" display, and the Cinema is home to the only Meyer Sound EXP system in the Midwest (and just one of seven in the U.S.).

The Premieres series is made possible by generous support from Elizabeth Redleaf.

"I'm so excited to close this year's Summer Music & Movies with the silent film classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, one of the titles in the Walker's Ruben/Bentson Film and Video Study Collection. With its nightmarish expressionist sets and haunting somnambulist, it’s a perfect complement to the Midnight Party exhibition which is curated around the theme of dreams."
—Dean Otto, Film/Video Associate Curator
"I was attracted to Brute Heart's darkly primal atmospherics and distinctive sense of melody. Their spare and cinematic sensibility pairs nicely with the moodiness of the film."
—Doug Benidt, Performing Arts Associate Curator
