"The Bijou Theater was founded in 1972 by a group of students who sought to bring a variety of independent, art house, foreign and classic films to the University community. According to its mission statement, it is a non-profit, non-commercial student-run organization recognized by the University of Iowa and a commission of the University of Iowa Student Government. As of 2005, it is run by student directors and a 15-member student board of directors. Films are screened at the Iowa Memorial Union and are open to the public.
