Los Angeles filmmakers, video artists, and cinema enthusiasts have a home for grassroots storytelling as Open Screen Los Angeles returns for its next monthly event on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Taking place at The Lyric Hyperion (2106 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027), this open-format screening night offers local creators a stage to showcase their short films, rough cuts, and visual projects in front of an engaged, supportive audience.
The evening kicks off at 6:30 PM with doors opening and sign-ups for filmmakers ready to put their work on the big screen. Show up early to grab a seat or lock in your spot on the screening lineup. The main show begins at 7:30 PM, featuring an eclectic mix of genres, visual styles, and fresh perspectives from creative voices across the city. Once the screen goes dark, stick around for the 9:00 PM afterparty to connect, collaborate, and network with fellow directors, actors, and local film lovers.
If you cannot make the October show, Open Screen Los Angeles gathers on the first Tuesday of every month. Future dates for the rest of 2026 include:
