Five of the nine films nominated last week in the Academy Awards' "best picture" category are included in the Cyclone Cinema spring lineup. Chances are good you can enjoy the winner on campus – for free – in the next few months.
Cyclone Cinema is a program of the Student Union Board, with funding provided by the Government of the Student Body. The films are open to the public and admission is free. With the exception of the spring break weekends, films are shown twice a night (7 and 10 p.m.) Thursday through Sunday in the Carver Hall auditorium.
Films are free, the popcorn is not
Cyclone Cinema's concession stand offers popcorn ($2 and $3), boxed candy ($2), bottled water ($1) and Coca-Cola products ($1). You may pay with cash or CyCash at the concession stand. ISU students also may use their Dining Dollars.
