About Us

Thanks to the dedication of programmers, cinema associates, Media Arts Center San Diego staff, community partners, and cinephiles, Digital Gym Cinema has become the home for the very best independent, international, and art house films from around the world. On any given week, attendees could enjoy films from established masters, the newest voices in the film world, and stunning provocations from iconoclastic directors. As the last art house theater in San Diego, our mission is to promote film culture, critical discussion, and film literacy to communities all over the region.

The Digital Gym Cinema, founded by the Media Arts Center San Diego, first opened its doors in 2013 in North Park. The cinema played a huge role in revitalizing the intersection of El Cajon Blvd. and 30th St. After a soft launch in January of 2022 to celebrate our partnership with the Sundance Satellite Screens Program, the Digital Gym Cinema re-opened on May 6, 2022 for daily screenings at the UCSD @ Park & Market building. Our new address is 1100 Market St, San Diego, California 92101. See you at the movies!
