Stand with Ukraine through Film: THE GUIDE and Ukraine War relief.

March 16, 2022 by Jordan Deglise Moore

We all know of the tragedy that is happening in Ukraine because of the Russian invasion.  Thousands of civilians are dying in the streets while as of today 3,000,000 people are fleeing the country.

Film exhibitors around the country want to do their small part. Working with filmmaker Oles Sanin, who is currently in Ukraine, we have banded together to screen his 2014 Ukrainian film The Guide and will donate 100% of the proceeds to help his fellow Ukrainians. We’ll begin screening the film this Friday at the Monica Film Center. The Guide follows an American boy named Peter and and a blind minstrel, Ivan, who are thrown together by fate during the Stalin-perpetrated genocide in 1930s Ukraine.

Here’s the official website: STAND WITH UKRAINE THROUGH FILM

Here is a message from the director that will precede the screenings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ea5wsqA6xI

Here is the film’s trailer:

Bicycle Benevolence: Ride the Tour de Summer Camps October 31.

September 22, 2021 by Jordan Deglise Moore

For years, we here at Laemmle Theatres have been passionate supporters of cycling — bicycles can save the world! — especially for a good cause. A good cause is coming up next month: Tour de Summer Camps.

From Greg Laemmle: “Funds raised go directly to providing scholarships for L.A. kids to attend summer camp.  The money stays in the community, and helps provide life-changing (and life-improving) experiences for kids who will grow up to become the leaders of our community, Jewish and otherwise. Laemmle Theatres would not be what it is today were it not for the lessons learned by me while growing up at Camp Alonim, or the sense of mission instilled in company VP Jay Reisbaum from his years as a camper and staff member at Camp Ramah.
“We know that all our patrons are not Jewish (to steal a line from INDEPENDENCE DAY, “Nobody’s perfect.”), but we hope that all our patrons can recognize that the Jewish community has contributed much to the tapestry that is Los Angeles, and help us in giving something back through this event.
“Ride with Team Laemmle!”

Laemmle’s ART IN THE ARTHOUSE continues to connect film audiences with the visual arts all year long and our artwork is for sale.  You might be inspired to buy a memorable work of art for someone special. Our CLAREMONT ART SHOW, curated by Joshua Elias, is winding down in late January. Highlights include digital works by Ron Dunlap, florals by Kathy Leeds and dynamic images by James Miley. Or peruse the artworks of our PASADENA artists including the playful collages of Lois Keller, bold paintings by Lynn Chang, dynamic watercolors by Mitsuko Hays and bright abstracts by Alla Vilesova. Our Pasadena show runs till March 2019. Before the end of February, visit our innovative SCREENINGS show in NoHo, featuring 36 Los Angeles-based artists, commissioned to make artwork in the format of the movie screen. The artists selected represent diverse practices including painting, printmaking, conceptual art, film, and video. The show was curated by Conor Thompson. At Laemmle venues around town, we provide movie goers with the opportunity to bond with notable and emerging visual artists. We focus on local talent and the robust Los Angeles arts scene, applying high curatorial standards to long-lasting exhibits that allow for repeat visits and extended reflection. Contribute to the conversation and become a Laemmle patron of the arts. Going to the Royal any time soon?

ART IN THE ARTHOUSE: Art for the Holidays

December 3, 2018 by Lamb L.

With the holidays right around the corner, why not consider giving a meaningful gift of art or simply stop by to view our galleries. No tickets required. ART IN THE ARTHOUSE connects film audiences with the visual arts all year long and our artwork is for sale.  We proudly deliver a unique, alternative art-viewing experience at seven of our nine venues. You might be inspired to buy a memorable work of art for someone special.

Check out the bold, dynamic paintings and collages of Isabella Kelly-Ramirez at the Monica Film Center. Ramirez coopts images from fashion and art magazines, repurposing them to create surreal urban legends and ironic emblems of commercialism. Her show runs till early January, 2019. Or get on up to Glendale for Caley O’Dwyer’s modern mixed media works; we extended his NoHo show to our newest Laemmle theatre. O’Dwyer explores multiple selves through deft application of gouache and collage cutouts. His work is on display till February, 2019.

At Laemmle venues around town, we provide movie goers with the opportunity to bond with notable and emerging visual artists. We focus on local talent and the robust Los Angeles arts scene, applying high curatorial standards to long-lasting exhibits that allow for repeat visits and extended reflection. Contribute to the conversation and become a Laemmle patron of the arts.

Going to Encino Town Center any time soon?  Take a look at Kirk Mann’s colorful nature photographs. We recently moved his show over from the Royal. With an awe and reverence for the natural world, Mann presents a unique artistic convergence of Eastern philosophy and nature’s essence. His exhibit runs till February, 2019. Please know, we proudly donate a portion of art sales to the Laemmle Foundation which supports a variety of environmental and humanitarian non-profits doing inspired, essential work in our community.

Join Laemmle Theatres in Saluting and Supporting Project Angel Food.

October 31, 2018 by Lamb L.

We celebrate abundance at Thanksgiving but November is also a good time to address issues like food security. L.A. is fortunate to have a superb local agency that works to address this. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness, bringing comfort and hope every day.

This month Laemmle Theatres concessions stands will feature Project Angel Food cookies with all proceeds going to this Los Angeles institution. Moviegoers can also donate to PAF by adding funds to their purchase of any item or using the tip jars. What’s more, PAF offers volunteer opportunities and Laemmle staff will be volunteering this month as a group.

Project Angel Food is a truly wonderful organization. They cook and deliver over 500,000 nutritious meals each year, free of charge, to the homes of men, women, and children affected by life-threatening illnesses. Their vital food and nutrition services, including medically tailored meals and nutritional counseling, help under-served people throughout L.A. County who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. Created in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Project Angel Food expanded its mission in 2004 to help our neighbors who are struggling with any life-threatening illness burdened by hunger and malnutrition. They deliver more than 11,000 meals every week to people in need.

Back to School: Live Staged Reading with Original Cast Members on September 6, 2017 at LACC’s Camino Theatre

August 31, 2017 by Lamb L.


We are pleased to direct your attention to Los Angeles City College, which will host a one night star-studded live reading of the comedy classic Back to School September 6 as part of the launch of their new Rodney Dangerfield Institute! There will also be a Q&A with the actors from the original film followed by a VIP meet-and-greet. More information is here.

It’s a good cause and one we are especially happy to support because Laemmle Theatres éminence grise Bob Laemmle attended LACC for a year, an experience that was formative in getting him re-focussed after his first attempt at college was not fruitful.  So we want to promote the important role played by community colleges in general, and LACC in particular.  Also because we love Back to School. “Why don’t you call me sometime when you have no class.”

SEASONS, the Stunning New Nature Documentary, featuring Q&A’s with Andy Lipkis of TreePeople.

November 30, 2016 by Lamb L.

We are pleased to present a special series of screenings of the critically acclaimed new film SEASONS followed by in-person Q&A’s with Andy Lipkis, founder and president of TreePeople: December 6 – Monica Film Center, Santa Monica. Daniel Hinerfeld of the National Resources Defense Council will moderate; December 7 – NoHo 7, North Hollywood. Elissa Barrett of TreePeople will moderate; and December 8 – Laemmle’s Playhouse 7, Pasadena) after the 7:30 pm showings. A portion of the ticket sale proceeds will benefit TreePeople.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPC2kZQ9kwU

SEASONS from Jacques Perrin, the director of Winged Migration and Oceans, is a poetic chronicle of animals and their habitats over the past 15,000 years, and a natural symphony on the mysteries of the forests. Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times calls SEASONS “another testament to the breathtaking wonders of the natural world.”

Andy Lipkis is a practical visionary who has dedicated his life to healing the environment while improving the lives of individuals and communities. TreePeople has engaged over two million people in planting and caring for trees to revitalize the pollution and drought-damaged forests and watersheds of Southern California. “The timing couldn’t be better to see this film,” says Lipkis. “SEASONS is a delicious and intimate immersion with the animals, birds, and trees of the forest ecosystem that will open your heart and heal your spirit. With tens of millions of trees dying in California’s mountain and city forests, SEASONS informs us without words or politics, about the extraordinary life support system we’re losing, that we can and must come together to save.”
