Festivals

While the American Cinematheque is a year-round film festival, we offer a variety of singular festivals including the longstanding BeyondFest and Noir City Hollywood to our newly launched PROOF Festival and Friend of the Fest. Our unique festivals are a part of our continuously evolving programming. They are yet another way to curate for audiences across Los Angeles. The American Cinematheque has something for everyone.
