About Gateway Cinema
Gateway Cinema is part of the small-but-vital network of American independent cinemas — venues that program outside the multiplex norm, often relying on members, festivals, and dedicated audiences to keep the projector running. With 2 screens in operation in Austin, TX, the venue typically rotates between week-long art-house runs, single-night repertory presentations, and partner programming with local film organizations.
The cinema sits at 9700 Stonelake Boulevard, 78759. For accessibility information, member benefits, food and drink policies, and group rates, contact the venue directly through their official channels.
Programming style
In our seasonal catalog the slate at Gateway Cinema leans toward drama, comedy, thriller, music. That is roughly the median profile for an independent cinema of this size — a programmer with one foot in the festival circuit and one in the back catalog, willing to sacrifice an evening of new-release box office for a print of something obscure on a Tuesday.

Other independent cinemas operating in Austin include AFS Cinema, Studio Movie Grill, Violet Crown Cinema. A weekend in town can reasonably take in two of these rooms back-to-back; programmers in Austin tend to coordinate informally so that competing films don't overlap on a Saturday night.
