Cinespia Los Angeles

Pack a picnic and bike over early to Hollywood Forever Cemetery for Saturday night screenings within a tombstone’s throw of the graves of Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, and John Huston. The decidedly cool crowd and great DJs put your usual dinner-and-a-movie plans to shame.
