A San Diego destination for indie films for more than 70 years, the Ken Cinema is scheduled to shutter next month in Kensington.
"After long consideration and much effort, we regret that we are unable to continue operating the Ken Cinema," send Landmark Theatres in an email announcing the closure of Ken Cinema. "The company recognizes what a cherished asset the Ken has been to the neighboring community. The changing theatrical landscape and challenges to independent exhibition are the major contributing factors. Landmark will continue to program many of the independent, specialized and foreign films that play the Ken at the Hillcrest Cinemas in San Diego. Landmark is appreciative of the years of our customer鈥檚 support and we look forward to continuing serving our audience at the Hillcrest Cinemas."
