independent theater
Non-studio movie venue
Independent theater operates outside the major commercial chains, typically owned by individuals or small companies rather than large corporations.
These venues often show art films, foreign cinema, revivals, and documentaries that mainstream multiplexes ignore: The independent theater downtown is screening a restored print of the film.
Independent theaters may also refer to small stage companies producing plays without backing from major producers or institutions.
