The Cinematic Geography of Los Angeles

Using real photographs from a few days of driving around the city, the movie takes a whirlwind tour around the various locations around the city of Los Angeles and examines how they appear today compared with how they appeared on the cinema scenes.

After driving all over Greater Los Angeles for many days taking photographs, and researching iconic cinema locations, this film is the end result.

I am both thrilled and heartbroken to see my beloved Rialto Theater opening this excellent compilation. The Rialto was just shut down after 80 years because Landmark can't make enough money off it. Apparently the theater is slated for "respectful" redevelopment, which seems usually means keeping the facade and putting small, expensive condos and boutique shops inside.

thegreatyoda: That's very sad news indeed about the Rialto. It was a one-of-a-kind classic movie house and always a treat to watch cinema there.
