THE MAIN THEATRE
It seems like a pretty simple idea, but we at The Los Angeles Film School believe that movies are meant to be watched in a movie theatre. Checking out a DVD in the comfort of your living room is great, but when you’ve just spent a year learning the art of filmmaking, you deserve to see the movie that you’ve created brought to life on the big screen, with amazing sound, and in front of an audience. Experience your films in The Los Angeles Film School’s Theatre. It’s a complete theatre-going experience, designed to showcase the best our students have to offer.

There’s even a legit theatre stage & concert venue on campus. The historic Ivar Theatre was the location of Elvis Presley’s film Loving You and Tom Waits recorded his 1970’s Double Live Album “Nighthawks at the Diner” on stage at the Ivar. The Grateful Dead also recorded a live album at the Ivar on February 25, 1966. We’ve recently restored it to a live venue after using it for several years as a film production stage.
