About

Peephole Cinema is a “miniature cinema” collective with satellite projects in three cities: San Francisco, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles created by Laurie O’Brien.  In each city, silent, experimental film shorts are screened 24/7 through a dime-sized peephole installed in a public location.

THE PEEPHOLE CINEMAS

ARE ON PAUSE

Because of COVID-19, the San Francisco Peephole Cinema was on “pause” for a long time.  We are looking for a sponsoring organization with 24/7 urban foot traffic–reach out if interested.    Thank you all for your support.
