About Us
www.belcourt.org
For over 80 years, the Belcourt Theatre has provided a space for premiere entertainment in the heart of Nashville's Hillsboro Village. During this time, the Belcourt has existed in many incarnations - from its 1925 opening as the Hillsboro Theater -a silent film house - through its brief tenure in the 1930s as the first live venue of the Grand Ole Opry and its subsequent incarnation as the Nashville Community Playhouse to 1966 when it became the Belcourt Cinema. Under various ownership, it thrived during the 70's and saw a decline through the 80s and 90s as the landscape of cinema shifted from the theaters to the shopping mall and ultimately closing its doors in early 1999. Saved from the wrecking ball and re-opened later that year by a dedicated group of local activists as the Belcourt Theatre, it is now the last of the neighborhood theatres to remain operational and is recognized as a unique cultural icon and Nashville's venue for independent, foreign and classic film, great musical performances, cutting-edge theater, and unique programming for kids.

Caught a screening in California. Loved it; Herzog makes some strange decisions, all for the better.
The bigger question is: what did YOU think?
Here's what I thought... http://bengrimwood.blogspot.com/2008/06/encounters-at-end-of-world.html
