New Title: Jason Reitman Joins US Kinoverband, Leads Renovation of Historic Theater
Renowned director, producer, and writer Jason Reitman has recently become a member of the US Kinoverband NATO, marking a significant addition to the organization. Reitman is at the forefront of a group of approximately two dozen prominent filmmakers who have taken over the historic Westwood Village Theatre in Los Angeles, with plans for its grand reopening in 2026.
The US Kinoverband NATO is currently in the midst of its annual fall meeting, which kicked off earlier this week at Sony’s studio lot. The Independent Theatre Owners Coalition, a branch of NATO, welcomed Jason Reitman as a new member during the opening ceremonies. In February, Reitman spearheaded the efforts of a collective of filmmakers to acquire the Westwood Village Theatre, which had been closed since late July and is undergoing renovations for its anticipated relaunch in 2026.
Reitman expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to be part of NATO and contribute to the revitalization of the iconic theater. He stated, “It is a true honor to be welcomed into the US Kinoverband NATO and to be involved in the restoration of such a historic landmark in the heart of Los Angeles. Our goal is to create a space that celebrates the magic of cinema and brings people together to experience the power of storytelling on the big screen.”
The Westwood Village Theatre has long been a cultural hub in the entertainment industry, hosting countless premieres and screenings over the years. With Reitman’s leadership and the support of his fellow filmmakers, the theater is poised to reclaim its status as a premier destination for film enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.
