Tower Theatre Update

TOWER THEATRE PLANNING UPDATES

This page was last updated on June 8, 2026

Our goal is to update this page quarterly.

We extend our deep gratitude to all who have inquired about and continue to love the Tower. SLFS remains 100% committed to preserving this unique and wonderful cinematic gem.

THE VISION

The 1928 historic Tower Theatre is being designed and renovated as an environmentally responsible crown-jewel movie house and community hub dedicated exclusively to cinematic experiences.

When completed, the Tower will serve as a community-based, mission-driven anchor for the 9th & 9th neighborhood. This treasured movie house will be Utah’s cinematic museum, trailblazing environmental responsibility and serving community through historic, contemporary, and unique technological film screenings, director/actor Q&As, cultural/environmental films, panel discussions, and SLFS’ curated programming. It will include museum exhibits that celebrate cinema’s history while inspiring the future of the medium.

RECENT HAPPENINGS

LATEST NEWS:

We’re thrilled to share that Salt Lake Film Society has submitted the initial concept drawings for the Tower Theatre renovation project to Salt Lake City Building Services for the required planning review.

This milestone represents an exciting — though very early — step in the long and thoughtful process of restoring and reimagining our beloved 1928 movie house.

Developed by the Tower’s talented architectural and design partners, these drawings reflect the project’s preliminary vision. They will continue to evolve as we incorporate community input, professional feedback, and sustainable design principles rooted in our environmental mission.

LATEST NEWS:

Salt Lake Film Society (SLFS) is taking an important step in the future of the historic Tower Theatre.

This spring we will begin preliminary facade deconstruction, a critical first step in understanding what remains of the original 1928 theater and a helping guide into its thoughtful renovation.

The facade deconstruction will be made possible by the generous donors at Alternative Visions Fund.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Timing: Work is expected to begin by mid-summer, with actual dates to come on this website when we know them
Expected Work Hours: 7 am to 5 pm, Monday through Saturday
Construction Activity: Big-D Construction will carefully remove portions of the theater’s front facade
Road and Alley Access: The alley/roadway next to the Tower Theatre will be temporarily closed during work hours and reopened after hours for normal use
Daily Clean-Up: Crews will clear and clean the area each day before reopening to the public
Construction Fence: Will be installed approximately 18 feet from the main entrance and will not impact the sidewalk or bike lane – pedestrian and cyclist access will remain open

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

We are committed to minimizing disruption and maintaining access to surrounding shops and restaurants throughout this process. We are coordinating closely to ensure the neighborhood remains safe, accessible and welcoming.

SLFS will also have a dedicated project ombudsman available to support neighbors and address and questions or concerns. That contact will be shared with everyone shortly.

ONGOING PROGRESS

This summer also marked steady progress throughout the schematic design phase of the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years project. Our architectural and engineering partners have been working closely with SLFS leadership and consultants to refine concepts, sustainability goals, and community-driven priorities.

Highlights since November include:

Salt Lake Film Society has submitted the initial concept drawings for the Tower Theatre renovation project to Salt Lake City Building Services for the required planning review.
Advancement of schematic drawings, which will guide the next stage of design development in 2026.
Continued Tower tours with philanthropists and foundation leaders, resulting in new early donor commitments.
Ongoing collaboration with our architecture, engineering, and design partners, who remain on schedule to complete schematic work in 2026.
Regular upkeep of the Tower’s exterior and surrounding property throughout the summer to maintain the building’s historic charm and neighborhood presence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

When will the Tower reopen?

The Tower is projected to complete major renovations later this decade. Exact reopening dates will depend on fundraising success, design development, and construction and manufacturing schedules.

What stage is the project in now?

We are currently in the schematic design/capital campaign build phase, scheduled to run through 2026. This stage will deliver architectural drawings, cost estimates, city approvals, and a public fundraising campaign gameplan.

Why is this renovation taking years instead of months?

Historic restorations of this scale require multiple stages: visioning, schematic design, design development, fundraising, and construction. Similar projects at peer cinemas have taken 5–10 years to complete. Often the perception is that such projects are only 2-3 years due to the timeframe the project “goes public.” When in reality, such projects have a quiet phase of planning and development, often with boards and behind-the-scenes, for years prior to announcing to the public such projects. Since the Tower is not in operations, this quiet phase is not really possible for SLFS. The public already knows the Tower exists and needs support to reopen. It will take all of us to make it a success, but it will take time.

How can I support the Tower project right now?

The most direct way is to become a sustaining donor through our Red Carpet Club. Sustaining donors keep SLFS as an institution strong and healthy so we can execute the vision for the Tower.

Businesses and philanthropists interested in leadership-level giving can contact us at info@saltlakefilmsociety.org for more information.

Will Tower programming continue in the meantime?

Yes! SLFS continues to host Tower programming at Broadway Centre Cinemas, including our annual Tower of Terror series each fall.

What makes this renovation environmentally responsible?

The project is rooted in biophilic design principles, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable building practices. Our Project Ethics Mandate ensures equity, environmental stewardship, and just practices guide every phase.

Why can’t the Tower just “patch things up” and reopen sooner?

The assessments revealed significant structural and systems challenges, including roof truss reinforcement, electrical and HVAC upgrades, and accessibility improvements. Patching these without a full plan would compromise long-term safety, sustainability, and preservation goals.

THE TIMELINE

THE PROJECT HISTORY

The Tower Theatre, a 1928 movie house, holds many mysteries and secrets. For 23 years, SLFS rented the Tower, limiting our ability to invest deeply in the building. In 2021, a modest lobby renovation was planned, but the historic complexity of the site escalated costs. With the Utah Theatre being demolished, SLFS purchased the Tower in 2022 to preserve it for future generations.

Thanks to the Alternative Visions Fund, SLFS now owns the building outright and is laying the groundwork for its preservation and transformation.

THE VISIONING PROGRESS

Since acquiring the Tower Theatre in December 2022, SLFS has been collaborating with arts leaders, board members, staff, and community partners to shape the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years Project. Our phased approach — Visioning, Planning (schematics), Design, and Construction — is modeled after successful restorations across the country.

Your engagement is crucial. Supporting our Broadway Centre Cinemas, attending events, and becoming a sustaining donor all strengthen SLFS and this project’s future.

With love,

SLFS staff, board, advisory committees, and volunteers

The Best Seat For Independent Film

Posted on February 3, 2026February 5, 2026 by Rachel Getts

The Best Seat For Independent Film

In Summary

SLFS is upgrading Broadway Centre Cinemas with boho-luxe, environmentally sustainable, and accessibility-forward seating and auditorium improvements—while staying open throughout the renovation.
At least three auditoriums will remain open at all times, ensuring uninterrupted independent film programming during phased construction.
All six auditoriums will be renovated with support from a grant by the AHE/CI Trust, guided by International Living Building Challenge values: place, beauty, health & happiness, equity, and the environment.
Two cinema styles are coming:
- Boho-luxe cinemas with wide-base gliding seats, natural fabrics, and custom “date-night” loveseat seating.
- Modern classic cinemas featuring roomier seating made from natural and recycled fibers in warm earth tones.
Accessibility is a core focus, including premium-sightline mobility platforms, flip-up armrests, improved ADA access, sensory-friendly features with KultureCity, and ongoing audio description and captioning options.
Environmental leadership sets a new U.S. cinema standard, with carbon-neutral manufacturing, long-lasting recyclable materials, recycled sound panels, and biodegradable, climate-positive flooring.
Materials and seating are designed to last 30+ years, countering industry norms that contribute to landfill waste.
The project is led by Kotobuki Seating Group, global leaders in public seating with over 110 years of experience.
SLFS invites community support by attending films during renovations and joining the Red Carpet Club to help sustain its nonprofit mission.

NEW SEATS

Salt Lake Film Society (SLFS) is transforming the moviegoing experience for cinema lovers with brand-new, boho-luxe, environmentally sustainable, and accessibility-forward seating and auditorium upgrades at the nonprofit’s Broadway Centre Cinemas location—while remaining open for films throughout the renovation. With construction phased to ensure continued programming, at least three auditoriums will remain open at all times, creating the best seat for independent film and an even more welcoming space to settle in, snack up, and get lost in a great movie experience.

Made possible by a generous grant from the AHE/CI Trust, SLFS will be upgrading all six Broadway cinema auditoriums to reflect International Living Building Challenge values: place, beauty, health and happiness, equity, and the environment. As the renovation unfolds, patrons and donors will enjoy material experiences that match the high-level cinematic curation SLFS is known for, bringing harmony between the recently upgraded presentation and sound systems and the comfort and style of a world-class arthouse experience. SLFS will also push the envelope on environmental remodels in cinema.

“This is an opportunity for SLFS to connect more directly to the environment we call home,” said Tori A. Baker, CEO of Salt Lake Film Society. “Top of mind for us as we look to the future of our facilities is the health of air quality, and the Great Salt Lake. We intend to set a high bar of environmental standards internally both with this project and future projects, contributing to our community’s wellness and longevity.”

BRAND NEW BOHO-LUXE AND MODERN CLASSIC SEATING

Movie lovers can anticipate two styles of cinemas upon completion:

Boho-luxe cinemas: Three auditoriums will feature wide-base seating that glides smoothly and is covered in luxurious, natural fabrics and colors. Custom “date-night” seating will convert two seats into a loveseat-like experience with side tables for popcorn, drinks, and treats.
Modern classic cinemas: Three auditoriums will have roomier, durable seating made of natural and recycled fibers in warm earth tones.

All cinemas will bring the community experience together for comfort and beauty, especially during sold-out screenings and filmmaker guest events. Guests can also expect innovative ADA access and turnarounds, new entry doors, improved lighting, environmental flooring, new beautifully recycled-material sound panels, and walls. Front-row guests get a little extra love too, with select seats featuring built-in footrests for peak relaxation.

ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility is a top priority in this upgrade. Each auditorium will feature new platforms at the center rear, designed for patrons with mobility limitations offering not only improved access but also premium sightlines. SLFS will also install flip-up armrests throughout every auditorium, providing wheelchair users who prefer to transfer into standard seating greater flexibility. In addition, the theatre will introduce new sensory accessibility features in partnership with KultureCity and will continue to offer audio description devices and assisted-hearing options, including closed-captioning devices and open captions at all Wednesday screenings.

ECO FRIENDLY

All materials were sourced to achieve the highest environmental standards ever applied to cinema seating in the United States. The project incorporates carbon-neutral manufacturing and offsets, supporting responsible farming and strong economies in the U.S., and ensures innovation continues on environmental cinema seating for future arthouses and commercial cinemas to learn from. The seating concept, project coordination, and on-site installation were led by Kotobuki Seating International and Ferco Seating Systems Ltd, both part of Kotobuki Seating Group, an internationally renowned public seating group with more than 110 years of experience serving the world’s most iconic cultural, civic, exhibition, and entertainment venues worldwide.

“There are lots of definitions of sustainability in building projects around the world, but SLFS’ is way above what anyone has done because it is defined by the leaders at SLFS and the community,

Keiko Sutton, Kotobuki Seating CEO

Industry-wide, cinema seating—especially “luxury” recliner systems—often rely on energy-intensive mechanisms and are replaced on five-year cycles, contributing to landfill waste. The materials used for SLFS seating and auditorium are designed to last more than 30 years and are composed of highly recyclable materials. Wall materials are manufactured from recycled bottles and plastics, and the flooring is made from natural, renewable materials such as linseed oil, wood flour, limestone, jute, and pine rosin—making it biodegradable, non-toxic, and often climate-positive by absorbing more CO₂ than it emits during production. These materials support renewable electricity use in manufacturing, high recycled content, and contribute to green building certifications such as LEED, while offering health benefits through the absence of phthalates and plasticizers.

“This is about making moviegoing feel special on multiple levels from the moment you arrive...Independent film and Utah deserve a space where audiences can truly connect and enjoy the cinematic experience—and we’re building the best seat for that future right now.”

Sarah Sinwell, Board Chair of SLFS

During the renovation, community support remains essential to SLFS’s mission. Moviegoers can support the nonprofit by attending screenings throughout the upgrade and by considering membership in the Red Carpet Club.

Sundance Is Moving: Independent Cinema Is Still Here

Posted on March 27, 2025March 27, 2025 by Rachel Getts

Official Statement from Salt Lake Film Society on Utah’s Independent Film Future

Utah has long been a cornerstone of independent film—its breathtaking landscapes, robust nonprofit film organizations, deep production resources, and a century-long legacy of iconic films make it a powerhouse in the industry. From its stunning scenery to its strong infrastructure of nonprofit film organizations, skilled crews, extensive production resources, and even the potential of a new film studio by Kevin Costner, Utah continues to stand as a premier destination for filmmakers.

While Sundance’s decision may be disappointing to some, it does not change the fact that Utah remains home to one of the most passionate and engaged moviegoing communities in the nation. Salt Lake Film Society (Broadway Centre Cinemas and Historic Tower Theatre), along with Utah’s strong mid-sized cinema exhibitors and innovative nonprofit film organizations, continues to shape the national independent film scene. Utah thrives as a leader in film exhibition, preservation, and artistic innovation.

Salt Lake City, in particular, will remain a vibrant hub for cinema with Salt Lake Film Society’s annual film festivals, including Filmexico, Masima: Pacific Island Film Festival, Unstoppable: Differently Abled Film Festival, and Czech That Film. The state will continue to champion film culture, supporting historic venues like the 1928 Tower Theatre, currently undergoing a renovation to become an environmentally responsible cultural hub dedicated exclusively to film.

For those donors who once supported Sundance, there are many meaningful ways to continue investing in Utah’s film future. Organizations like Salt Lake Film Society, Utah Film Commission, Utah Film Center, and SpyHop Productions provide powerful platforms for independent voices, historic cinema preservation, accessibility advocacy, and environmental sustainability in film.

Salt Lake Film Society will continue to operate 365 days a year at Broadway Centre Cinemas and Tower Theatre to fuel dreams, spark community, and ignite conscience through film. Visit or support us at SLFStix.org.
