While Hollywood is the film capital of the world, there are still a multitude of independent theaters to explore in Los Angeles. Visit these top 5 for a unique movie-going experience.
Catch a movie at the Downtown Independent located in the heart of the city. This small-scale theatre programs movies, live music and comedy shows almost every night of the week. Stop by for a show or purchase tickets online.
Take a step back in time at the CineFamily Silent Movie Theatre this non-profit movie theater is dedicated to programming weird, wonderful and rare films. Purchase tickets one hour before show time or buy a membership and see movies for free.

Although Landmark Theatres is a chain, the Nuart Landmark is worth a visit. They program 3D, independent and avant-garde films. See a midnight screening on Friday or catch The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturdays.
Take a drive to the Echo Park Film Center, a non-profit micro-movie theater and film school. The tiny theater provides an intimate movie watching experience, dedicated to local filmmakers.
For a retro movie experience, go to the Electric Dusk Drive-in. This rooftop movie theater screens films every other week and offers both car tickets and lawn chair seating. Purchase tickets online; screenings sell out quickly.
Despite Hollywood’s looming presence, independent movie theaters are alive and well. Find your favorite theater and explore the world of independent film in Los Angeles.
