The Spectrum 7 Theaters is a locally owned, independent movie theater that has been in operation since 1983. It is committed to showing films that are provocative, entertaining and thought-provoking. By showcasing the best first-run independent, foreign and Hollywood films, the Spectrum has differentiated itself from the competition. It offers a state-of-the-art alternative to the mall movie experience. Dolby digital and stereo surround sound enhances enjoyment of its "spectrum" of film offerings. Off-street parking in either of its two lots means no hassles and no mall traffic. The Spectrum's Art Deco atmosphere, art gallery, and slide shows that feature the work of local artists make going to the movies a unique experience. Its snack bar offers a delicious selection of baked goods, coffees, teas and popcorn with real butter. Special events featuring conversations with independent filmmakers are a regular part of its programming. The Spectrum 7 is committed to keeping alive the idea of cinema as a vital art form and are proud to have created what is now considered to be the Capital District's primary resource for films that were formerly available to Metropolitan residents only.
