Built by the Donald Douglas Company in 1939, the Aero Theatre was originally opened as a continuous 24-hour movie theater for aircraft workers who worked in shifts around the clock. It later became a beloved neighborhood theater and has anchored the now posh Montana Avenue shopping district in Santa Monica.
In January 2005, the Aero was taken over by the American Cinematheque after a $1 million dollar restoration including a new screen, sound and projection equipment, and a new concession stand. As part of the Cinematheque, the theater now screens a variety of old, new and specialty films in curated programs.
