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.
