Art House Theater Day

The inaugural Art House Theater Day takes place on September 24, 2016, celebrating the art house theater and the cultural role they play in communities. It is a day to recognize the year-round contributions of film and filmmakers, patrons, projectionists and staff, and the brick and mortar theaters that are passionately dedicated to providing access to the best cinematic experiences available from around the world.

Art House Theater Day celebrates the legacy of independent theaters as advocates for cinema arts. In an age where media has become more digital than tangible, more solitary than social, art house theaters remain the physical spaces where film lovers congregate and connect with intrepid, creative filmmaking. They are the beating heart for new and exciting cinema that is shaping the future of the medium.

In recent decades, a colorful constellation of art houses has emerged across the globe. This art house movement has nurtured a flourishing ecosystem of adventurous audiences, independent productions, and an incredible diversity of original filmmaking. Art House Theater Day is a worldwide celebration in honor of this movement, a day to celebrate cinemas that stand the test of time and the tremendous film culture that art house theaters promote.

Every theater is unique in how they choose to celebrate and the Art House Theater Day activities reflect that. Several film distributors are offering exclusive programs that you will only be able to see on Art House Theater Day at participating theaters. For example, during the 2016 Art House Theater Day, Well Go USA Entertainment plans to screen the pain-stakingly remastered version of the cult classic thriller Phantasm, which the company acquired for distribution in July 2016.

Participants will also have special film ephemera and other exclusive items to giveaway, along with local filmmaker visits, live music and parties.
