AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center

A great selection of independent, foreign & classic films . Really inexpensive snacks and a wide selection of alcoholic drinks .

A great place to catch a classic film . The original Silver Theatre is an art deco masterpiece designed and constructed by John Eberson in 1938 and renovated in 2003. Student tickets are $9.

Huge, ornate theater with tons of room at the seats, great movies . Go see an indie flick and grab a beer .

I dig this theater. Great snack options. I went to a viewing of Under the Cherry Moon which was directed by Prince. The theater made the experience awesome. Love that movie though.

If you prefer Bergman over blockbusters, this is the place for you. With a variety of festivals , classic film retrospectives, and innovative educational programming, it’s one of our favorite big scree

DC C'bean Filmfest from 6/1 to 6/4, 2012. Bonus: the dessert reception in honor of the 50th Independence anniversaries of Jamaica AND Trinidad and Tobago (big year!) after "Fire in Babylon," Friday!

Great Movie theather lots of fun to visit and view !

Don't miss seeing a movie here with a good beer & really good popcorn ! It's the only theater popcorn I'll eat.

The decor I very good as well as the snack bars

Make plans to view the screenings of the 48 Hour Film Project each year, a competition for do-it-yourself filmmakers.

The people and atmosphere are fantastic!!! I love it here!!

Thinking Sundance, not sequels? AFI Silver's your best bet. A real learning experience. And DC Caribbean FilmFest has been hosted here for the past few years - during Caribbean Heritage Month in June.

The original Silver Theatre was designed by John Eberson and constructed in 1938. Restoration and expansion were completed in 2003.

The original theater (Theater 1) is the greatest place to see a film in the DC area.

The seats aren’t comfortable for long films .

The beer & wine selection is surprisingly good.

Show great classics (and new films ) on the big screen

Me and my wife like this theater a lot.

Great theater, awesome audio and picture.

Like most other theaters, concessions is way overpriced. At $1.75 + $4 a cup of tea and small popcorn is the cheapest "meal deal " and satisfies my need to accompany movie viewing w. noshing .

12 years a Slave, 5 stars! (don't forget the tissues)

Has a small exhibit/museum section.

Hot dogs are supposedly Nathan's which made me excited... only to find out they're microwaved. :( Nice place for a movie though!

If you get a chance to see a film in Theater 1, take it!

There's beer at the concessions here- sit in the way back for the most comfort...

Great Theater!

Check out some of the 80s movies during their popular summer series.

Get the beers and popcorn

Awesome place with lots of old people who smell nice.

Out of consideration for the dozens of people in line , please don't gather just outside the theater door to loudly discuss the ending of the movie .

Grab a beer !

Take a good look at the theater, it's beautiful.
