Celebrating three decades of great new films.

The Cinema Series is held on Tuesday evenings at the Landmark Westwood in Los Angeles. Each preview screening is followed by an in-depth conversation with the filmmakers, actors, or other special guests.

The virtual Cinema Series screenings of new films are presented periodically and include a conversation with the filmmakers and top talent.

Popular film critic Pete Hammond hosts both Cinema Series experiences.
