Alamo Theater
In the paper-mill town of Bucksport, the organization Northeast Historic Film was founded in 1986 to preserve and show early films related to New England. In 1992 the group bought Bucksport’s vintage Alamo Theatre, which was built in 1916 and closed (the last showing was Godzilla) in 1956. Films are now shown on weekends in the renovated theater; call or check the group’s website to see what’s coming up—even first-run popcorn flicks usually are accompanied by a few minutes of archival film from the organization’s collection before the show starts.
