The Nuart Theatre is an art film movie theater in Los Angeles, California, United States. It is the flagship location of the Landmark Theatres chain in the United States.
In February 2024, the Nuart celebrated its 50th anniversary.
John Waters took the spotlight in a "No Smoking" theatrical trailer, initially showcased at the Nuart Theatre, in which he humorously advised patrons to 'smoke anyway'. Additionally, Waters featured in a Nuart-specific trailer expressing gratitude to the theater for its longstanding showcase of Pink Flamingos and its role in elevating DIVINE to the status of a 'Filth Goddess'. Waters continued his cinematic presence in a theatrical trailer dedicated to the Shock Value film festival. These distinctive trailers, directed by Douglas Brian Martin and produced by Douglas Brian Martin and Steven M. Martin, were not the sole cinematic additions at the Nuart. The theater showcased trailers by the Martin brothers, featuring luminaries such as David Lynch and Peter Ivers.
The Nuart was the location for the theatrical world premiere of Beyond the Valley of the Ultra Vixens directed by Russ Meyer. Edith Massey of "Pink Flamingos" fame performed on a makeshift stage with her punk rock band The "Incredible Edible Eggs" featuring Gina Schock on drums. Ms. Schock subsequently became a member of the all-girl rock band The Go-Go's. Director Michel Gondry filmed part of Beck's video for "Deadweight" at the Nuart. The Nuart is mentioned in Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.
