A project of the Echo Park Film Center since 2007, the Filmmobile takes EPFC programs on the road to better serve Los Angeles and facilitate media arts exchanges with communities beyond Los Angeles. Running on waste-vegetable oil and green technologies, the Filmmobile is a model of sustainability that celebrates the long tradition of itinerant cinema.

Outdoor screenings The Filmmobile Summer Screening Series invites Angelenos to discover and explore their changing urban landscape through an array of classic films at cinematic locations across the city. The Filmmobile partners with local organizations and filmmakers to screen films at community gatherings and special events. National and international tours present special programs of experimental and documentary films by established and emerging filmmakers.

Workshops The Filmmobile brings free filmmaking workshops to media-marginalized populations, specifically at-risk youth, girls and young women, recent immigrants, the homeless, seniors, people of color and low-income earners. These programs provide a fertile meeting space for skills building and the exchange and validation of ideas, knowledge, and experiences, empowering individuals to share their unique stories with the world.
