This 2022 film by Rafael Sbarge explores the history of the Laemmle Theatres circuit. We spend lots of time at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, a venue no longer part of the circuit. Distribution of the film is by Wishing Well Entertainment.
There's also quite a bit of focus devoted to the Royal Theatre on Santa Monica Blvd., including many shots of the satirical use of film titles on the marquee during the Covid shutdown.
See the pages about the Fine Arts and the Royal on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of these houses. The film also offers brief glimpses of or discussions about many more theatres that are now, or once were, in the circuit including the Franklin, Playhouse 7, Music Hall, Monica and Los Feliz.
