The Ken cinema

The Ken is a single screen movie theatre featuring foreign, avant-garde, and independent films. This night, the movie The King was being shown. Movies change nightly and sometimes there is a double-feature. They also host the gay and lesbian film festival and used to be a venue for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. An interesting fact: the Ken is the only theater in San Diego which still uses reel-to-reel projectors. Visit the Ken at 4061 Adams Avenue in the neighborhood of Kensington.

  6. Thanks everyone. I'm usually pretty bad at night shots but this one turned out okay. I think we are lucky here to have more than one theatre interested in showing independent/alternative films.
