Criterion Series

THE CRITERION COLLECTION was established in 1984, with a mission to preserve important classic and independent films from around the world, making them available to watch in analog and digital formats In 2017, Criterion launched a series of original programming for the Criterion Channel called Art-House America, to showcase independently run arthouse theaters around the U.S and highlight the people and community that keep them alive.

Now, with their support of the Strand Theatre in Rockland, Criterion is furthering their support of community movie theaters, by sponsoring a year-long series of films that will allow the Strand to screen a wide range of acclaimed, hard-to-see movies for the local audience, and turn these screenings into a fundraising event for the much beloved 100 year old theater.
