About Us

After a soft launch in January of 2022 to celebrate our partnership with the Sundance Satellite Screens Program, the Digital Gym Cinema is re-opening on May 6, 2022 for daily screenings.

We look forward to welcoming our amazing supporters at our new art-house cinema at the UCSD @ Park & Market building. Our new address is  1100 Market St, San Diego, California 92101.

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.

Through the dedication of programmers, cinema associates,  Media Arts Center San Diego staff, community partners, and cinephiles, the Digital Gym Cinema became the home for the very best independent 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. Our cinema on ECB was a special place! Unfortunately, we closed this cinema in the middle of the pandemic. But we’re back!

We’re looking forward to starting our new chapter at our new space.

We’ll see you at the movies… very soon.
