The Criterion Mobile Closet Sets Los Angeles as the Next Stop

After last month’s successful stop at SXSW, where Criterion welcomed over a thousand film fans, the Mobile Closet is making its way to Los Angeles. The Mobile Closet allows visitors to browse Criterion's massive collection, which includes theater titles such as Funny Girl, All That Jazz, Show Boat, and the fan-favorite documentary, Original Cast Album: Company.

Previous stops included the Criterion Mobile Closet’s debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall during the 62nd New York Film Festival, Brooklyn Bridge Park in partnership with St. Ann’s Warehouse, and the Paramount Theatre in Austin during SXSW.

Stocked with more than 1,000 of the greatest films from around the world, the Criterion Closet may offer more cinematic inspiration per square foot than any other place on the planet. Filmmakers, stars, and creative luminaries of all kinds come to Criterion to champion their favorite films in our popular Criterion Closet Picks video series. Last year, Criterion opened the door to everyone by taking the Closet out on the road, and LA is our fourth stop.
