is finally getting ready to welcome movie fans, as the video store and nonprofit film organization unveils its renovation of the Eagle Theatre in northeast L.A.’s Eagle Rock neighborhood. The official opening is set for June 1, with sneak previews for supporters starting in May.
“We’re overjoyed to finally see our dream of bringing Vidiots back to Los Angeles,” said Vidiots founders Patty Polinger and Cathy Tauber. “We could not have accomplished this incredible feat without the loyal and steadfast support of a community truly devoted to cinema and creating a space for new generations to be inspired and enlightened by the arts, and where they can fall in love with film as we have.
With seven days a week of programming, Vidiots will schedule repertory titles, new independent films, classics, all-ages programs and education and preservation initiatives. The foundation plans to work with community and programming partners including A Bunch of Savages, Bob Baker Marionette Theater, IFC Films and Shudder, KCRW, Lionsgate, Monkeypaw Productions, MUBI, Outfest, rePROFilm, UCLA Film & Television Archive and Women in Film.
Mackay also emphasized the importance of the venue serving all audiences. “We think of movie-loving from a very narrow perspective, but a 3-year-old’s experience is just as important,” she said. “We’re very focused on people who love cinema, but we almost never think about who are the next generation.”

76ers thrive in the zone — the strike zone — in opening statement against NetsPHILADELPHIA — The familiar blue backdrop, the one with 'Playoffs' printed repeatedly in all caps, is back behind the podium. But with all the pressure expected to pack this Sixers postseason, Joel Embiid, James Harden and Philadelphia's cast of outside shooters seemed to feel anything but tension throughout a wire-to-wire, 121-101 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of their first-round series Saturday. Connecting on 21-of-43 attempts from beyond the arc — a franchise playoff record — can certainly suppress the weight of mounting expectations.
