Empower Dreamland's Vision for Tulsa and Beyond
Donation protected
Dreamland has been accepted amongst an international cohort of independent cinemas in stewardship of the Confédération Internationale des Cinémas d’Art et d’Essai, a non-profit association bringing together over 2400 arthouse cinemas with more than 4400 screens, in 45 countries in the world, thanks to the collaboration of 15 national and regional arthouse cinema networks (Belgium, Canada-Québec, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Venezuela and Arabic-speaking countries), as well as individual cinemas, not yet represented by a national network, and festivals across the world.
The CICAE was founded in 1955 by the national arthouse associations of France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, aiming at promoting cultural diversity in cinemas and festivals, as well as at reinforcing at political level the support for theatres that took a stand in favour of this “high-risk” cinematographic art form.
Please consider supporting this Black community legacy institution stepping into an international support system of individualized training in funding, building, and maintaining a brick and mortar institution that serves Tulsa and elevates the ways we see each other, ourselves, and the land and futures we share.

- In-depth workshops and lectures on innovative arthouse programming, audience development and marketing, data analysis, businessplanning, budgets and fundraising, current technological developments in cinema exhibition, sustainability, as well as diversity,equity and inclusion.
- Lectures, masterclasses, and get-togethers with filmmakers, festival organisers, funding representatives, advocacy leaders and political decision-makers.
