Who We Are
A Theater Built
by Film Lovers.
Secret Movie Club was born from a simple belief: great movies deserve great company. We are a Los Angeles-based cinema rooted in downtown Los Angeles — a gathering place for film lovers, filmmakers, and anyone who knows that watching a movie with the right crowd is one of life's great pleasures.
We curate screenings that go beyond the screen. Rare 35mm prints shown the way they were meant to be seen. Director Q&As that turn a night out into a masterclass. Film festivals that celebrate voices deserving to be heard loudly. And a community of over 100,000 members who show up — not just to watch, but to feel something together.
We are not a multiplex. We are not a streaming service. We are the space between — where cinema becomes culture and strangers leave as friends.
