The historic Crandell Theatre is located in the Village of Chatham, NY and is Columbia County’s oldest and largest movie theatre. This 534 seat theatre was built in 1926 by Walter S. Crandell as a vaudeville house. The theatre's brick and stucco architecture is of Spanish design complete with arches and lanterns.

It is owned and operated by The Chatham Film Club, a volunteer, not-for-profit organization committed to bringing art, independent, and foreign film to Columbia County.

It has many unique features not found in today's movie houses like a full 26-foot wide and 13-foot deep stage with dressing rooms, a 112 seat balcony, an orchestra pit, and organ lofts on each side of the stage.

The Crandell Theatre is the main venue for the FilmColumbia Festival, an annual film 5-day film festival held every October.

The Crandell also hosts Farm Film Fest, a day of film about local farming in Columbia County, NY sponsored by The Chatham Agricultural Partnership, The Chatham Film Club, and The Columbia Land Conservancy Programming Committee.
