The Brattle Theatre

Welcome to the online home for the Brattle Theatre and the Brattle Film Foundation. The Brattle Theatre has been Boston's unofficial film school since 1953. We screen the best in classic, cutting-edge and world cinema with a different double feature almost every day.

The Brattle Film Foundation is a new non-profit organization formed to take over programming and operation of the theatre. The Foundation celebrates film as art and promotes film preservation, distribution and exhibition through various efforts. Learn more about the foundation.
