Oklahoma Film Exchange was just an idea in late 2024. We wanted to bring film to people through pop-up screenings or any other way we could. When the Film Row screening room became available, we jumped at the opportunity to raise the funds to move in and preserve the space as it is. We’ve been running the space independently since September 2025.

We are a microcinema, event venue, and community gathering space. We prioritize films you can’t see anywhere else, from arthouse and cult, to local films, to films that never got a theatrical release. We host live events such as comedy shows, podcasts, and more. We also try to give back by holding fundraisers for others when we can.

We are a cooperative movement owned and operated by the partners listed on our About Us page.

After careful deliberation, our team decided that we would like to have complete control over our organization and operations. Without a board to defer to, we would ultimately be the only decision-makers in the future of Oklahoma Film Exchange and subject directly to the feedback of our supporters. Our team members also directly own the business they have put their labor into.

Yes! You can help us Keep Film on Film Row through our fiscal sponsorship with Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition.
