What Screen Trove covers

The American independent cinema circuit has never been a single thing. It is the Music Box on a Saturday at midnight, a Maysles brothers retrospective at Anthology, a 35mm print of The Conformist at the Castro, a single-screen room above a barbecue joint in Asheville, a Sundance touring slate at Sie FilmCenter, a Polish Film Festival weekend in Park City, a one-off 70mm engagement of 2001 at the Coolidge.

We catalog the venues and the films. The directory weighs in at 683 independent cinemas across 473 American cities, programming a current catalog of 92 films across 16 genres. Every venue page profiles the room and how it programs. Every film page maps where it sits on the circuit.

If you operate an indie or art-house cinema and would like to be listed, see our listing page. If you are a distributor wanting to track engagement, see our distributor brief.
