The Los Angeles Conservancy is a nonprofit membership organization that works through education and advocacy to recognize, preserve, and revitalize the historic architectural resources of Los Angeles County. Launched in 1987, Last Remaining Seats is an annual film series that celebrates Greater Los Angeles’ grand historic theatres, and educates the public on the need for their preservation.
Designed to raise awareness of and fuel engagement with historic theatres, Last Remaining Seats exposes Angelenos to preservation via a fun, inclusive, educational event. Screening classic films in Los Angeles’ historic theatres transports viewers back to the golden age of cinema and allows new generations the chance to experience these movies as they were intended. This experience creates a powerful connection to the theatres for attendees and highlights the value of preserving them.
Since 2003, the Golden Globe Foundation has been a lead sponsor of this classic film series, which attracts thousands of attendees annually to enjoy the best films from Hollywood’s past in the settings in which they were meant to be seen.
