...Indianapolis, we have 2 "art houses" (5 screens total) showing foreign and independent films as well as one or two megaplexes that offer the occassional, break-out independent flicker. Our smaller art house, Key Cinemas, shows independent films, documentaries, local filmmakers' work and revivals exclusively. We don't get everything, but we get quite a bit - and I don't mean Miramax.

Louisville has a very good independent theater (Baxter Street Cinemas). Chicago has the wonderful Music Box Theater among others, as well as outstanding series at the Art Institute, Facets, DOC films at U of C and several others.

It's not a total cultural wasteland in the middle of the country.
