What to send
Exterior marquees, historic facades, lobby details, auditoriums, signage, and official venue images are the most useful.
Photo submissions
Help document America's independent cinemas.
Strong theater photos improve every listing: they help filmgoers recognize the marquee, understand the venue, and find the places keeping repertory and independent cinema alive.
Include context
Add the theater name, city, state, photo credit, approximate date, and any caption that helps identify the venue.
Rights required
Only send photos you own or are authorized to share. We do not use scraped images or unlicensed map photos.
Owner-ready packet
Submit a clean photo rights packet.
This does not publish anything automatically. It records the rights language, credit, venue context, and review checklist we need before replacing a generated fallback image.
