Housed in the restored Passmore Edwards Old Library on Acton High Street, ActOne is an independent, non-profit community cinema run by a Community Interest Company. The historic building, gifted to the people of Acton and left empty for years, was brought back into use by a group of residents who campaigned to keep developers out and return it to its original role as a community hub. After the lease was signed with the London Borough of Ealing in 2021, a team of more than a hundred volunteers c.....

San Jose's last drive-in still lights up six screens every night of the year. The Capitol Drive-In at 3630 Hillcap Avenue opened on 25 May 1971 with four screens and a free inaugural program of The Owl and the Pussycat, 101 Dalmatians, Valdez Is Coming and Zeppelin - one of six drive-ins then operating in San Jose, designed by Vincent G. Raney, the architect behind much of the Century Theatres circuit. Later expanded to six screens, it outlived every competitor: at the industry's 1960s peak Cali.....

Around 1,100 different film titles cross the screens here every year - a number no ordinary cinema comes close to. Cinemateket, the Danish Film Institute's cinematheque in the Filmhuset at Gothersgade 55, is to film what the library is to books: a place where film history is kept alive on the big screen for researchers, filmmakers and the public, programming roughly 40 screenings a week of classics, restorations, retrospectives and festival titles that would otherwise never reach a Danish screen.....

Los Angeles watches movies with its buried movie stars, and it started with eighty people and a Hitchcock print. Cinespia at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard, held its first screening on 20 July 2002, when 27-year-old film-club founder John Wyatt projected Strangers on a Train against the west wall of the Cathedral Mausoleum - the building holding Rudolph Valentino's crypt - for members of his Italian film club and word-of-mouth guests. Wyatt had spotted the potential of t.....

Built for the 2012 Summer Olympics at a cost of 44 million pounds, this 7,500-capacity multi-sport arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park hosted handball, modern pentathlon fencing, and Paralympic goalball during the Games before reopening as a community and events venue in 2013. The design by Make Architects incorporates recycled copper cladding on the exterior that gives the building its name and weathers to a distinctive verdigris patina over time. The arena's environmental credentials we.....

On the Town Hall Square, beside the Palace Hotel and the Lur Blowers statue, a single doorway leads down to one of Copenhagen's best-loved small cinemas. Gloria Biograf occupies what was Screen D of the old ABCinema complex, opened in the mid-1970s as the fourth screen of the Nordisk Film house; when ABCinema closed on 31 March 1989 the D-hall survived on special screenings under the name Biffen, before reopening on 3 March 1995 as the independent Gloria. The programme is hand-picked art cinema.....

Union disputes got the building bombed in 1931 - Chicago's theatre wars spared no one, not even a neighbourhood movie house two years old. The Music Box Theatre, at 3733 N Southport Avenue in Lakeview, opened on 22 August 1929 and has run continuously as an art-house cinema since 1983. The house is an atmospheric gem: the 750-seat main auditorium wears a twinkling star-covered ceiling and drifting projected clouds above Italianate-meets-Moorish decor, fronted by a neon marquee whose eight lette.....

Run entirely by volunteers from a parish hall in the County Down seaside town of Newcastle, the Newcastle Community Cinema is a non-profit cinema and community hub based in St Mary's Hall on Main Street. Founded in 2009 to promote the appreciation of film, it offers an old-fashioned, sociable alternative to the multiplex, complete with a traditional popcorn machine and a well-stocked bar at every show. The cinema screens a varied monthly programme aimed at all tastes, from family films to artho.....

Widely regarded as one of the most beautifully situated baseball stadiums in America, PNC Park occupies the north bank of the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh's North Shore neighbourhood, offering views from every seat across the water to the downtown skyline and the Roberto Clemente Bridge. The park opened on 31 March 2001 as the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, replacing the multi-purpose Three Rivers Stadium at a construction cost of 216 million dollars. Designed by HOK Sport in a retro-classic .....
