Nitehawk Cinema
While Nitehawk Cinema, which is located in Brooklyn New York, may not be as old as some of the other independent theaters mentioned it has certainly made history. With its opening in 2018 this cinema single-handled overturned the prohibition-era law that forbade movie theaters from serving alcohol which has created a whole new movie-going experience in the Brooklyn area. Furthermore, this cinema hosts its own film festival each March that shows the work of a diverse group of filmmakers from all over the US.
