The Jean Cocteau Cinema is, proudly, one of the few remaining small indie cinemas in the Santa Fe area of New Mexico and owned by author George R.R. Martin.

The historic Jean Cocteau Cinema is not just an eclectic arthouse theater and bar, it is a unique event space that is truly transforming the entertainment scene in Santa Fe and is a mainstay of the Santa Fe community in the Railyard District. We are hosts to artists, singers, comedians, magicians, drag kings and queens, and of course, authors! We aim to create a unique experience by pairing films with curated themed cocktails at our full bar, to having customizable charcuterie amidst the expected movie theater concessions.  Whether you’re looking for a unique event in Santa Fe, or want to rent the cinema for your very own party—the Jean Cocteau Cinema has it all!

We are NOW OPEN 3pm-10pm Wednesday thru Monday (closed Tuesday unless stated). Normal hours subject to changes due to holidays, scheduled programs outside business hours or private rentals so please see full calendar here for more details on hours of operation.

SEE YOU AT THE CINEMA!
