Philosophical Research Society

A Los Feliz cultural institution where film clubs and curators use a 1930s esoteric-philosophy campus for repertory and thematic screenings.

The Philosophical Research Society was founded in 1934 and maintains a public library, bookstore, gallery and performance program.

Film series such as SEE•SOUND sit comfortably beside lectures on philosophy, myth and art, giving the calendar an unusually wide intellectual range.
