About
AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center (commonly called as AFI Silver) is a three-screen movie theater complex in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, north of Washington, D.C. It is operated by the American Film Institute.
It occupies the former home of the 1,100-seat Silver Theatre, whose 1938 building was designed by movie palace architect John Eberson. It was originally owned by Warner Bros. Pictures. The Silver Theatre closed in 1985, and the building stood empty until 2001, when restoration began.
