As the Belcourt celebrates its 100th birthday (and our 25th year as a nonprofit) we launch an ongoing project exploring the history of films shot in and around Nashville — and others that tie more broadly to both the Belcourt’s and Nashville’s cinema and cultural history. From studio-backed features to scrappy indie productions, these films capture a city in flux and reflect a legacy that continues to evolve — much of it intersecting with the Belcourt’s own past.

The mystery continues! The legendary television series from Mark Frost and David Lynch returns to the big screen at the Belcourt with a slice of intrigue and a fresh pot of twists and turns. As the Laura Palmer investigation unravels, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper faces new and greater threats from his past, present and future.

Join Cody Fry as he premieres The Unlikely Mariner, his first symphony/short film/mini-musical/EP at the historic Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, TN.

As we conclude a year of programs, seminars and special events dedicated Belcourt 100, our centennial as Nashville’s oldest neighborhood cinema, it seemed appropriate to look back specifically at our last quarter century — a turning point (starting in 2000) when our building was saved, a new 501(c) was formed, and the Belcourt Theatre earned the moniker we hold today as Nashville’s Nonprofit Film Center. To do so, we have gathered this unique collection of films, each its own kind of milestone in our last quarter century and tied to a particular moment.
