Big love for HFA. The most interesting, diverse selection of films that you probably would never otherwise know about or see.

There is always something playing here that I haven't seen before and I love their showcases. A true gem.

A friend of mine was visiting the area and we went to see a movie here. She is so jealous she can't go all the time! Check it out!

Local indie cinema playing a pretty neat selection of films - check out their event calendar, they…read moredo a rotation of films. My friend and I went to see the matinee showing of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West on an original 35mm borrowed by RISD (which I thought was pretty cool). Forgive the blasphemy but the theater does give off high school auditorium vibes: I wish there was a bit more of an incline for the seats further back and the seats themselves are not super comfortable. There is a balcony, however, that I might check out next time. Convenient location with lots of great restaurants around for a pre-/post-show meal or drink. Parking is tricky but only if you're coming from the direction of JFK Street (avoid if possible). Use Mt Auburn Street instead - more parking options and a lot less traffic. 2-hr meter options only and the ticketing is aggressive. If you're here for a movie and a show, definitely recommend moving your car at some point to avoid a ticket.

My husband and I saw "It's A Wonderful Life" here this past weekend. It was great being able to…read morewatch a classic for the first time on the big screen. There are refreshments available for purchase at the entrance. The theater is easy to get to and we found the movie ticket prices to be very reasonable.
