GLOUCESTER

Gloucester is a North Shore fishing city and artists' colony on Cape Ann, with a community cinema serving the local cultural scene.

Cape Ann Community Cinema is a nonprofit microcinema that screens independent, documentary, and art-house film in a community-centered setting. The broader Cape Ann arts scene — galleries, festivals, and visiting performers — adds to the cultural fabric.

Gloucester's identity as an artists' colony means the audience for independent film and culture is built-in. The cinema is a neighborhood gathering point.

Tip: Downtown Gloucester and Rocky Neck are walkable. Combine a screening with the harbor-front dining scene.
