A small arthouse cinema in Bend, Oregon showing independent films in a tucked away historic alley Tin Pan Theater is a beloved arthouse cinema owned by BendFilm in the historic district of Bend, Oregon. The intimate 28 seat theater is adorned with red velvet old-fashioned seats that can best be enjoyed with the best home-made popcorn you've ever had. The small in-room concessions also serve up other classic movie fare including candy, soda, and local beer and wine on tap!
Along with independent films and cult classic showings, they offer events like 'Spaghetti Western Wednesdays' which serves up a spaghetti meal paired with a surprise old western film and 'Crouching Tiger Micro Cinema Sundays' which serves up a delicious Chinese dinner and a surprise martial arts film. Tin Pan is the destination for a wonderfully nostalgic movie viewing experience. Get more unusual and extraordinary places each week with the Atlas Obscura Places newsletter.

The historic single-screen movie theater is one of only four cinemas in the world to screen films in VistaVison format. Built in 1968, this arthouse has kept its movie-palace decor and has its own museum. A small part of the local arts scene, this “little free cinema” is part homage to the past, part interactive experience.
A disused, crumbling 110-year-old theater retains the authentic retro charms of Showa-era cinema. This century-old, single-screen cinema still puts a 1937 Compton organ to good use. A Grand Dame of the vaudeville circuit restored to its former glory. ## Become an Atlas Obscura Member * * * Join our community of curious explorers.
