ABOUT the RETRO-POLITAN FILM SERIES: Heritage House began screening films in the fall of 2012 as a monthly ‘Film Noir' movie series. It has since evolved through many different incarnations to now encompass classic, international, and contemporary indie fare.
DEALING WITH THE COVID-19 QUARANTINE: Heritage House took their film series ONLINE in March of 2020 by streaming each week one of a series of classic public domain films via their HERITAGE HOUSE - WEST Facebook site -- a tradition that continues today AT:
