VIDÉOTHÈQUEA place for film lovers
Home / Our Story
Since March 2003

A place for film lovers.

Two decades of keeping cinema on the shelf, in the hand and on the big screen — and we’re just getting started.

Who we are

Greater LA’s home for the extraordinary.

Vidéothèque is greater Los Angeles’ premier source for DVD and Blu-ray rentals and sales — emphasizing classic, international, documentary, rare and cult titles, alongside all the new releases you want and the old favorites you hold dear.

Since opening in March 2003, we’ve steadily built a library of more than 40,000 unique titles: a veritable cinematic playground for hardcore film buffs and casual viewers alike. In a rapidly changing home-video market, we keep thriving for one reason — we offer what the competition doesn’t. At-hand access to thousands of titles the other guys just don’t carry.

From a South Pasadena storefront to a bigger home with its own screening room in Highland Park.

The doors open

Vidéothèque opens in March in South Pasadena with a mission to keep great cinema available — all of it.

2013

Ten years strong

A decade in, the library is a destination for film lovers across the Southland. Cake was served. A lot of cake.

2014

“Sketch for Summer”

We produce our own short film — a romantic comedy with nods to the Silent Era, Astaire–Charisse musicals, the French New Wave and Nicholas Ray.

2015

Secret Cinema

Outdoor summer screenings in the backyard bring the community together under the stars.

2023

A new home in Highland Park

With our lease ending, more than 300 donors and dozens of volunteers help us move to 4102 N Figueroa St.

Today

20 more years

A bigger store, a 50-seat screening room, monthly comedy and the same stubborn love of physical media.

Our short film

Sketch for Summer

Our 30-second promo spot is excerpted from Sketch for Summer, Vidéothèque’s independent short — a love letter to the movies that line our shelves.
