The Common

Looking to catch an up-and-coming documentary or the hottest box office flick? Look no further than Greater Boston's handful of independent movie theaters. Spots like the Somerville Theatre in Somerville's Davis Square, Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline and Brattle Theatre in Cambridge offer one-of-a-kind screening environments and a chance to expand the viewing horizons of any cinephile. 

WBUR Arts Contributor Erin Trahan joins The Common for a look at some of the area's top indie theaters, as well as a preview of two upcoming film festivals within a drive of the city.
