Circle Cinema Celebrates 94 Years In Tulsa

An iconic Tulsa business turned 94 years old Friday.

Circle Cinema near Admiral and Lewis opened its doors on July 15th, 1928 and on Friday the theater hosted a reception to celebrate. It also opened a new gallery exhibit with artwork from Native American special effects artist Tate Steinsiek

"To see how, not only how well-rounded Oklahoma has become in artistry and just the way that it treats its artists and filmmakers and having a place like Circle Cinema that gives independent filmmakers a chance, man, it's... I'm honestly just basically speechless," said Steinsiek.

The 2022 Circle Cinema Film Festival also started Friday and runs through the weekend.
