had both movies you mention in theaters. Quite frequently an interesting movie will come through, play briefly at a small number of theaters, then disappear. If you're devoted to seeing movies on the big screen, you can catch some great ones. But inevitably, you can't see all of them. Millenium Actress came and went...now it is coming out on DVD, big screen opportunity is gone. Seems like just one of the many screens showing Scary Movie 3 could still be running it, but that's not how it goes. When I go to the Midwest, it is a whole different story and very few independent movies show up in theaters.
Follow Ups:
...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.
