The most interesting and avant garde movie theater in the city, if not the country. The Dryden Theatre has been showing independent, foreign and other high quality film series for a long time. Films are screened once, possibly twice on a weekend, and then they move on. The Dryen has scores of films in their archives - one of the most prolific in the world - and taps into this for their well curated film screenings.
