Vidiots — In the Eagle Film Series

“Wednesday through Sunday in Eagle Rock. The video store that…”

In Eagle Rock, the video store never died; it grew a marquee. Maggie Mackay gave Los Angeles a room where the movie theater and the video store are finally the same thing — the kind of place where the people who built the shelves in the 1990s could be the people programming the screen now. So Vidiots operates the Eagle Theatre in Eagle Rock, a nearly century-old movie house with a 271-seat auditorium that runs 35mm and 16mm and digital. The In the Eagle series is the weekly repertory programming — classics, hard-to-find features, new indie releases, the rare screening you would have driven to a different city for ten years ago. Programming rotates Wednesday through Sunday. Tickets twelve to fifteen dollars. Concessions include real popcorn. The MUBI Microcinema next door holds thirty-six for smaller screenings. Eagle Rock Boulevard. The crowd is LA cinephiles and the neighbors who walked over.
