Its programming spans first-run (new releases) independent and documentary films (both U.S.-made and international) and repertory classics. Its concession stand includes classic movie snacks, locally-made baked goods and items like tamales and empanadas, and a full bar (including wine on tap and local craft/draft beers).
The Belcourt also has an active education and engagement program, sharing films with young people throughout Middle Tennessee via its Mobile Movie Theatre and frequently hosting post-screening discussions with filmmakers, issue experts, and other special guests.
The Belcourt reopened in July 2016 after undergoing seven months of renovations. The renovation increased the theatre's square-footage to include a new small screening room, classroom space for film education and outreach, an elevator, and larger fully accessible restrooms.[7][8]
The Belcourt is currently home to one of the largest paintings by noted painter Harry Underwood. The 4'x6' painting, Landmark Preservation, is a commentary on the uncertainty created when rapidly developing cities start to demolish historical buildings in order to make room for new construction.[9]
