Time Out says

Built by the same man who erected the Chinese Theatre and El Capitan Theatre, the Egyptian was faithfully restored by the American Cinematheque in 1998 (who also run the Aero in Santa Monica). The not-for-profit company continues to deliver a wide range of excellent themed mini-festivals and one-off Q&As with legendary figures, as well as classic films and contemporary indie cinema—even though the actual building is now owned by Netflix (the streamer, which oversaw a three-year restoration project, uses the space for premieres and special events on weekdays while the American Cinematheque programs weekends).

What’s on

Slamdance Film Festival

Founded 30 years ago as a group of independent filmmakers’ response to Sundance, Slamdance Film Festival is heading to Los Angeles from Park City, Utah, beginning a new era of the fest. With a mantra of “by filmmakers, for filmmakers,” Slamdance focuses on emerging artists and counts the Russo brothers, Christopher Nolan, Gina Prince-Bythewood, the Safdie brothers, Rian Johnson, Sean Baker and more of today’s most notable directors as alums. L.A. Times Studios’ environmental exposé Out of Plain Sight will open this year’s fest, premiering February 20 at the Egyptian Theatre, while a lineup of over 150 shorts, experimental films and narratives—including several made here in L.A.—will play all week at the Directors Guild of America (7920 W Sunset Blvd), the Landmark Sunset (8000 W Sunset Blvd) and Quixote by Sunset Studios (1011 N Fuller Ave). See the full lineup here.
