Our 35mm film projectors have been in the making for over a year now. We're finally ready to turn them on this Friday with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on 35mm film. 5 historic screenings at the Playhouse.

We're proud to present Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on 35mm film at the Playhouse. 5 screenings, all on film with limited tickets & seating. You know what that means... scroll down now to get tickets as soon as you can. 

"Both a love letter to the Hollywood classics (and the people who made them) that inspired Tarantino, and a melancholy reflection on career, legacy, and finding purpose in a world that has seemingly left you behind." - Discussing Film

Take a look at our 35mm film projector in action...

Also opening this Friday, the brand new indie film Nine Days... Winston Duke & Zazie Beetz are so good in this eye-opening gem-of-a-film, get tickets for it and don't miss any of its limited run with us.

A man interviews five unborn souls to determine which one can be given life on Earth. "A life-affirming epiphany, 'Nine Days' is cinema of a higher calling, spiritual without denomination." - LA Times

Annette also opens this weekend & what can we say... we love Adam Driver in anything and he KILLS IT in this out-of-this-world musical. If you've been craving something totally different on the big screen... this film is it. 

"What happens when you take Leos Carax’s poetic style and emotionally raw storytelling and mix it with Spark’s multi-layered and kind of esoteric pop songwriting? Annette, of course. It will take your breath away" - The Observer

The Safdie Brothers Breakout Hit Returns To The Big Screen

Heavy Metal - 40th Anniversary

R

40th Anniversary screening. Inspired by the scifi/fantasy magazine, classic rock soundtrack, voiced by SCTV alumni

"A step beyond science fiction..." Canadian headbangers in the early 80s dug the rocking soundtrack, the hilariously familiar SCTV-voices and all those comely visions of Amazons getting sexy with dorky robots. Yep, there's a lot of male gaze going on, but what a head-trip this movie was, and we're bringing it back. Big screen, big sound!

No screenings currently scheduled.

The Truffle Hunters

NR

The Truffle Hunters explores a world most viewers will know nothing about -- with delightfully savory results.

Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation. They're guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly-trained dogs.
