How to use this page
If you are searching for "indie films playing near me," "art-house cinema in [your city]," or "limited-release movies in theaters this weekend," start here. Find your city above and click through to the local guide; it lists every independent venue we know about, their current weekly schedule, and the films most often booked across the metro area.
The directory is sorted by indie cinema density rather than population, which means cities with a strong art-house culture relative to their size — Asheville, Missoula, Burlington, Athens, Northampton — surface alongside the major metros. A regional festival circuit calendar is a useful supplement once you have identified your local scene. City-by-city criticism roundups are the fastest way to triangulate which neighborhoods support which kinds of programming.
If your city isn't listed, it's possible we don't yet know about an indie cinema that exists there. Please let us know; we add cities and venues continuously.
