The power of film: it transports us to worlds we’ve never experienced, can show us the kaleidoscope of human experience, and has the capacity to bring communities together. Every year, the Oscars mark a moment to reflect upon a year in film and celebrate the art. Join Cinema Center the day before the Academy Awards to celebrate not just the Oscar-nominated films, but the amazing year we've had at Cinema Center.
Join us for our annual Oscar Party and fundraiser on March 1, 2025, from 6 PM - 10 PM at Fort Wayne Cinema Center. Enjoy a red carpet, heavy hors d’oeuvres, an auction curated by the Cinema Center Board of Directors, and more!
After the gala, Cinema Center will screen Quentin Tarantino’s PULP FICTION, which was nominated for seven Oscars in 1995 and is considered one of the best films ever to LOSE the bet picture nomination.
In addition to the in-person fun, Cinema Center supporters can bid on items online starting right now! These items include a private screening at Cinema Center for up to 60 people, a photo shoot at Cinema Center, Bottomless Cinema Center Popcorn for a year - and more! The auction will conclude the night of the gala - but anyone can bid even if they are unable to attend.
