About Packard Campus Public Programs
The Library of Congress Packard Campus public programs seek to:
- Showcase the film, television, radio and recorded sound collections of the Library of Congress
- Celebrate the extraordinary range of creativity and exuberance inherent in the recorded forms of American culture and entertainment since the late 19th century
- Demonstrate the work of the staff and laboratories devoted to preserving and restoring analog and digital audiovisual materials in the Packard Campus laboratories
About the Packard Campus Theater
This beautiful 200 seat theater
offers a celebration of classic American films, all of which have been
named to the National
Film Registry.
The Registry was established by the National Film Preservation Act
of 1988 to honor American movies deemed "culturally, historically,
or aesthetically significant." Each year, the Librarian of
Congress, in consultation with the National Film Preservation Board
and the voting public, names 25 new films to the Registry, which
now totals 475 titles. You can nominate
a film for the Registry at the National Film Registry web site.
Packard Campus audiences will be treated to a dazzling array of cinematic
delights, in a gorgeous, Art Deco-style theater with superlative sound,
state-of-the-art film projection, and comfortable seating. We will
usually have three shows a week: Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 pm and Saturdays at either 2:00 pm or 7:30 pm.
- Reservations at the theater are strongly encouraged.
- Get directions to the Packard Campus Theater.
