About Alamo Drafthouse

The Alamo Drafthouse is a lifestyle entertainment brand with an acclaimed cinema-eatery, the largest genre film festival in the United Sates and an online collectible art store. Named “the best theater in America” by Entertainment Weekly, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has built a reputation as a movie lover’s oasis not only by combining food and drink service with the movie-going experience, but also introducing unique programming and high-profile, star studded special events. Alamo Drafthouse Founder & CEO, Tim League, created Fantastic Fest, a world renowned film festival dubbed “The Geek Telluride” by Variety. Also regarded as the “Comic Con of film festivals” Fantastic Fest showcases eight days of offbeat cinema from independents, international filmmakers and major Hollywood Studios. The Alamo Drafthouse’s collectible art boutique, Mondo, offers breathtaking, original products featuring designs from world-famous artists based on licenses for popular TV and Movie properties including Star Wars, Star Trek & Universal Monsters. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is expanding its brand in new and exciting ways, including the launch of Drafthouse Films, a new film distribution label and plans to extend its theaters and unique programming philosophy to additional markets across the United States.

Accolades

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has built a reputation as a movie lover's oasis not only by combining food and drink with the movie-going experience, but also introducing unique programming and high-profile, star-studded events. The Alamo Drafthouse programmers' passion translates to the world's most creative celebration of film, food, beer and pop culture. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema believes in the sanctity of the theatrical experience -- the highest projection standards are practiced and no talking policies strictly enforced (unless the program calls for talking...or singing of course). There are currently 11 Alamo Drafthouse theaters across Texas and Virginia with plans to expand nationwide.
