On Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles there is a 150-seat movie theater that for over 68 years has doggedly dedicated itself to silent cinema. This documentary reveals the touching, twisted, and bloody history of one independent theater’s attempt to stay open in the hometown of American cinema.
Mixing interviews with archival footage, this artful doc digs into the practice of do-it-yourself cinema while praising the shared nature of the theatrical film experience. More than just a piece of local history, Palace of Silents feels as rewarding as browsing through a lost family album.
