Located in the heart of downtown Astoria, Columbian Theater stands as a living piece of cinematic history—first opened in 1925 in the aftermath of the city’s great fire and evolving over the decades from vaudeville stage to independent movie house. Set in a town etched into film culture through classics like The Goonies, Short Circuit, and Kindergarten Cop, Astoria carries a legacy of stories that blur adventure with the unknown. Inside the Columbian, that legacy lingers in the walls—intimate, worn-in, and just a little unpredictable—making it the perfect place for Abductee, where the familiar slips into something unsettling and the line between memory and experience begins to break.

$5 - Tickets available at the door.
