Step into the sun-drenched façades and murky back alleys of 1930s Los Angeles with a rooftop screening of Chinatown—Roman Polanski’s Oscar-winning neo-noir that forever changed the landscape of American cinema. This very special screening marks the 51st anniversary of the film’s original 1974 release—and coincides with the 87th anniversary of the grand opening of Los Angeles’ New Chinatown, which plays a central role in the setting and historical backdrop of the story. For fans of Hollywood history, neo-noir cinema, and classic LA films, this is a can't-miss evening under the stars!
