Jean Cocteau Cinema

The Jean Cocteau Cinema is a historic movie theater (formerly the Collective Fantasy Cinema) located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States. It is currently owned by American author George R. R. Martin. In addition to films, the cinema hosts author talks and book-signings, along with a small display of signed books for sale; burlesque, magic and variety shows; art exhibitions, and concerts.

In 1976, four partners (Lynne Cohen, Mary Hether, Anne Lewis and Richard Szanyi) opened the first movie theater on the site, the Collective Fantasy Cinema.[citation needed]

In 1983, Brent Kliewer acquired the theater, renovated it, and rechristened it the Jean Cocteau Cinema, a tribute to the famed French poet, novelist and filmmaker. As the National Observer once noted, "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".

The theatre closed in 2006 before being purchased and renovated by novelist/producer George R.R. Martin in 2013.
